What is an SLS file

SLS files mostly belong to Salt by SaltStack. An SLS file is a software definition used by Salt (also called SaltStack) event-driven configuration automation and remote task execution software. The contents of a Salt software definition (SLS) are written in text format using YAML syntax. It is usually named init.sls. Another type of SLS file contains the backup of a Samsung phone. It contains all settings, applications, contacts, messages, and call logs which have been backed up from the phone using Kies.

How to open an SLS file

You need a suitable software like Salt to open an SLS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SLS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SLS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

How to solve problems with SLS files

Associate the SLS file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open software definitions. Because only the current version supports the latest SLS file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the SaltStack manufacturer website after an available Salt update.
To make sure that your SLS file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
