Description: About Salt
        ==========
        
        Built on python, Salt uses simple and human-readable YAML combined with
        event-driven automation to deploy and configure complex IT systems. In addition
        to powering SaltStack’s powerful enterprise product suite, Salt can be found
        under the hood of products from Juniper, Cisco, Cloudflare, Nutanix, SUSE, and
        Tieto, to name a few.
