SaltStack uses an architecture that requires the installation of an agent (referred to as a minion) on the nodes it manages. These nodes are then called minions, distinguishing SaltStack from other automation tools like Puppet, Chef, and Ansible, which have different terminologies and architectures for their agents and managed nodes.
