> existing cloud management systems. Salt Cloud also automates setting up the
> Salt Minion on the provisioned cloud VMs and connecting them back to the
> Salt Master. Individual VMs can be easily and quickly provisioned or a
> mapping of what vms need to exist can be defined and then enforced.
>
> The same module loading system used in Salt is used to make adding support
> for more cloud providers is amazingly easy. This release comes with support
> for three cloud providers, Amazon EC2, Rackspace Cloud, and Linode.
