+We mainly rely on [Salt](https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/contents.html)
for deployment and automation.
Scope
-----
-New services on our Docker engine (currently Dwellers) should be
-deployed through this repository.
+Both Nasqueron servers and side projects we manage are in scope.
-The [Eglide](http://www.eglide.org/) service is fully managed
-through this repository.
-
-Legacy services are in migration.
+For example, the [Eglide](http://www.eglide.org/) service is configured
+through roles/core (common to every server) and roles/shellserver (specific).
Structure
---------
-Services are organized in roles and units.
+A. Services are organized in roles and units.
* Roles: a role is a goal a service accomplishes (e.g. mailserver, paas-docker)
* Units: a unit is a component needed to achieve this goal

+If more is needed, functions are created in Salt custom modules:

+* Execution modules are stored in `_modules/`
+* States modules are stored in `_states/`
+
+D. This repository is the source of truth for users, groups and ports:
+
+* UIDs document unique usernames and the UIDs for system accounts
+* GIDs document the same information for the groups
+* PORTS contain the list of reserved application ports
+
+E. Units and integration tests are stored in `_tests/`
