+Count planned salt states that are executed during the os_setup, predeployment and deployment.

+The execution will run multiple salt show low state commands to render the planned states with the
+provided pillar files.
+
+Find more information about highstate and lowstates:
+https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/layers.html
+
+The show prefix just runs the execution in a dry-run mode, without applying the real changes.
+
+Besides that, the code will run the lowstates command recursively if some of them have more
+salt execution within them, like `set_grains_sbd_disk_device` in cluster_node.ha.iscsi_initiator.
+
+Find more about the used commands in:
+Look for `show_low_sls` and `show_lowstate`
