AWS CodeDeploy
While this looks nice, part of me can't help but be annoyed by yet <i>another</i> deployment option on AWS. We now have CloudFormation, Elastic Beanstalk (which can take many forms, including Docker), CodeDeploy, and Opsworks.<p>I can imagine how, for a new user, it's utterly baffling which of these options is the best for the longterm, with the least friction. I use OpsWorks quite a bit but have found it very challenging, and the feedback cycle when attempting to develop new cookbooks is excruciatingly slow.<p>All I want, personally, is a system that uses a set of interchangeable scripts that represent dependencies, so my server configs can live in version control. It doesn't even need to run on multiple OSs (which seems to be a central tenet of Chef). It just needs to deploy/rollback with zero downtime, and ideally autoscale as quickly as possible. Is this it? Is there any way to know without spending weeks fleshing out how it works?
