Manage Cloudflare records with Salt
Dec 14, 2016Ivan Babrou

Summary
This post introduces the Cloudflare Salt module, enabling users to manage DNS records via SaltStack. This provides a single source of truth for DNS configurations, peer-reviewed and versioned changes, and aims to offer a feature that customers would want to use. The module allows for configuration of zone records, including name, content, and proxy status, with dry-run capabilities before deployment. Future plans include extending Salt integration to other Cloudflare settings like WAF and caching.
