AWS OpsWorks - Flexible Application Management in the Cloud Using Chef
Wow, I have that sinking feeling that this OpsWorks stuff may have turned what was a coin flip decision we made between Chef and Puppet (in which we chose Puppet) to a one heavily weighted towards Chef, but hard to say without reading more.<p>My immediate question is how easy it would be to keep your Chef recipes in source control somewhere and have equally easy one click deployment to both AWS and to a local Vagrant development box. We currently have a similar environment set up with puppet and it makes testing sysadmin stuff pretty awesome.<p>Edit: already finding holes - can't deploy to cluster compute instances (a deal breaker) and deployment seems rather slow (15 minutes to deploy from scratch versus about 8 with normal puppet) :(
