How often does the letter "u" occur in:
Q: Why are Amazon OpsWorks operations so slow? I'm starting to examine Amazon OpsWorks and created a stack with a database layer and 2 custom layers.
I put my cookbooks on a private git repository.
I'm wondering why machines used in my scenario are so damn slow !?
When booting the machines the first time it took around 15-30min until they are ready and even why I just start the task "update custom cookbooks" it takes 4(!!) minutes to fetch them from github.
I already red about creating custom AMIs for reducing boot time but then I have to remove the opsworks-agent.
Would I still be able to use the OpsWorks interface wehen removing the agent?
Do I miss something or is the process so slow for everyone? I'm using m1.small intances for testing purpose.

A: Because ruby is compiled during the running_setup to run the opsworks-agent if you are using an O.S. without ruby 2.0.0 by default. (i.e. the Amazon Linux AMI has ruby 2.0.0 built in, so is faster than ubuntu for provision).

A: This is unfortunately quite standard, even in 2022, for anything cloud related.
Whenever you ask a "cloud" to create and start something, it will have to actually provision it and get it runnning; which means telling a lot of different systems to create and start that thing you asked for.
"Asynchronous", also known as "you ask it to do something, and it will eventually do it whenever it wants".
