Configuration

Every option available in the templates can be set in pillar. Settings under 'salt' will be overridden by more specific settings under salt['master'], salt['minion'] or salt['cloud']

salt:
  ret_port: 4506
  master:
    user: saltuser
    ...
  minion:
    user: saltuser
    ...
  cloud:
    providers: ec2
    ...

Extending

Additional templates can be added by the user under salt/files/minion.d and master.d. This might be useful if, for example, a recently-added configuration option is not yet provided by the default template.
