I have found that it scales well, both in terms of number of nodes, and complexity of configurations. However, I have found one aspect of Salt that remains under-developed: Salt doesn&rsquo;t have great support for custom groupings of minions. Minion groups (which could also be called node groups, host groups, instance groups, etc.) allow you to target a predefined group of minions.</p>
