For the Jetty servers, we've been using a convention of "jetty-090983204" where the series of numbers actually represents the time the machine was started up as seconds since the UNIX Epoch as found by `date+"%s"`. Note that at some point, we anticipate establishing the `id` will be automated through a utility called `salt-cloud` with the base pattern 'role'-'environment'_'Epoch_Seconds'.

You will also want to establish the role for the machine, which will tell the Salt Master what should be installed and enabled on that machine. The 'roles' list is found by searching the /etc/salt/minion file.

Another interesting note is that IDP is configuring its portion of the Jetty xml file. This means that for each state enforcement, Jetty re-sets its configuration files to default, and then IDP re-writes its changes each time. There are many ways to solve this, however right now we are working on differentiating an installation and an update or enforcement state change through appropriate "unless" messages.

Wiki MarkupThe most important machine to know is, 'ec2-54-244-127-183.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com' which is the Salt Master \ [EIP\]. All of the other systems are dynamic, and change more than can be updated in this document. However, the following command will give a list of all the available servers and the DNS names they can be reached at...
