I have excercise where i have to deploy app war files onto multiple tomcat instances available on the same server. I am using Salt has my configuration mangement tool here, i have also gone through some examples of salt orchestrate runner but nothing seems to help. I am also confused arranging the pillar variables for multiple instances in the pillar file.

I am able to deploy app on only instance without any trouble.

Pillar file :

appname:
  name : location to instance1 webapps folder
  typer : war

State File:

  archive.download:
    download the war directly to instance1 webapp folder
  cmd.run
    restart instance1

Need help to include the second instance details and achieving the state deployment in optimized way possible. Thanks.

You might be able to use on the pillar side an array and then a jinja loop for the installation in the state file.

pillar:

applist:
  - location : salt://path_to_archive_wi1
    destination: /webapps_i1
    name: test1
    typer : war
  - location : salt://path_to_archive_wi2
    destination: /webapps_i2
    name: test2
    typer : war
  - location : salt://path_to_archive_wi3
    destination: /webapps_i3
    name: test3
    typer : war

state file:

{%- for app in salt['pillar.get']("applist",[]) %}
copy {{ app[name] }} :
  file.managed:
    - name: {{ app['destination'] }}
    - source: {{ app['location'] }}
{%- endfor %}

Something like this should do it. In the loop if you are only installing one app in one instance, you can also restart the instance.
