Description

Description of Issue/Question

Given the huge number of possibilities how to manage the kubernetes-based applications using Salt I'm confused.
By managing kubernetes-based application I don't mean installation of kubernetes itself. I mean provisioning the actually deployed application, like sharding the MongoDB database, creating redis clusters. Anything that actually requires some kind of orchestration

In general, what's best:

  1. On kubernetes nodes, install salt-minion, have salt-master on separate VM, manage applications using docker events from salt-minions. Salt-master have the most complete view of kubernetes infrastructure and user application
  2. Have in-container minions, possibly in-container master
  3. some kind of mix 1. and 2. (to be honest I don't think it is any good)
  4. not using salt

Could someone more experienced share some insight?
