CfgMgmtCamp 2025 Ghent

Use one or more weird tricks to speed up your salt master
2025-02-03, 12:40–12:45, D.Aud (Main)

In this session we will explore the difference between single vs parallel queues as operational models for a salt master's MWorker pool. You can take from this discussion one more argument in favor of a single queue model (at least when humans are not involved), which yields a clear performance increase. We will also cover some jinja caching additions and how to disable an unneeded pillar render.
