Salt-Stack requirement
I started playing with Solta. I couldn't find any information on how to make a state depend on several other states.
state_a:
module.run:
- name: my.module
- m_name: name_a
state_b:
module.run:
- name: my.module
- m_name: name_b
state_c:
module.run:
- name: my.module
- m_name: name_c
- require:
- module: ...
How can I do state_c
up to require
both state_a
and state_b
?
Bonus question . What is the rationale for using a structure Key: Single Value
to define dependencies in Salt?

This should work in most cases:
state_c:
module.run:
- name: my.module
- m_name: name_c
- require:
- module: state_a
- module: state_b
Also, as far as using salts of unambiguous dictation lists instead of flat dictionaries: I think this is partly because of cases like this where you need multiple identical keys, and partly as a way to simulate an ordered disk for when ordering issues. However, I am not a salt developer.
