After completing the Tanzu Salt installation process, there are some post-installation tasks.

• Install and configure the Master Plugin - The Master Plugin enables your Salt masters to communicate with Tanzu Salt. The Master Plugin includes a variety of settings you can adjust to improve performance, which are particularly useful for large or busy environments.
• Check the RaaS configuration file - Consider reviewing your RaaS configurations. RaaS, which stands for Returner as a Service, is the central component in Tanzu Salt. RaaS provides RPC endpoints to receive management commands from the Tanzu Salt user interface, as well as RPC control endpoints to interface with connected Salt masters. The RaaS configuration settings are in the /etc/raas/raas configuration file on the RaaS node.
• Accept the Salt master key and back up data - You need to accept the Salt master’s key, remove the pillar top file, and back up critical data. You can also try some sample content to enable more accurate minion presence detection and to test the overall system’s functionality.
• Extend your Salt infrastructure - You need to install, run, and register the Salt minion service on any nodes that you intend to manage using Tanzu Salt. You can deploy the Salt minion service to your nodes using either VMware Aria Automation cloud templates or by installing the service through Secure Shell (SSH).
