 SaltStack is a configuration management software which delivers fast & scalable event-driven infrastructure automated. But how you configure SaltStack itself if your cluster infrastructure created dynamically by automatized tools. That's where Salt Bootstrap comes in picture.
 Salt Bootstrap is part of [Cloudbreak](https://github.com/sequenceiq/cloudbreak) project. It's responsibility to configure SaltStack master and minions cluster wide, manage service life-cycle on members of the cluster and distribute common states, formulas, templates generated by the orchestrator tool. Salt Bootstrap provides a secured interface to spin up SaltStack cluster instead of executing plain ssh commands on each members.

+# Release
+To release a new version please update the `VERSION` variable in the Makefile and call
+```
+make release
+```
+If you don't have the GitHub cli installed call
+```
+make deps
+```
+before the release. GitHub cli is used to create the release and upload the artifacts to GitHub.
