Application Management Challenges

• Your app’s reliability and scalability are really important.

• The operational tasks needed to keep it running smoothly take time…

• As your app grows, routine operational tasks can become even more time-consuming and error-prone.

• Don’t want to tradeoff control or flexibility for ease of use.

• Provision

• Deploy

• Configure

• Monitor

• Scale

• Secure

Once upon a time…

Recipes + Automation

In today’s infrastructure, everything is code…

from the applications developers are writing, to

your configuration management tools, to

provisioning resources with CloudFormation

templates.

• Integrated application management solution for

ops-minded developers and IT admins

• Model, control and automate applications of

nearly any scale and complexity

• Management Console, SDKs, or CLI

• No additional cost

What we’re going to show in the demo…

A stack represents the cloud infrastructure and applications that you want to manage together.

A layer defines how to setup and configure a set of instances and related resources.

Then deploy your app to specific instances and customize the deployment with Chef recipes.

Decide how to scale: manually, with 24/7 instances, or automatically, with load-based or time-based instances.

What is Chef and how does OpsWorks use it

• Chef is an open-source framework that automates software deployment and configuration.

• Whenever a change happens on your stack, or upon request, all instances are notified and recipes are run.

Blue/Green Deploys – We stand up a duplicate part of our

infrastructure and slowly cut traffic over to it

• Shift via DNS

• Makes it easy to do testing of new features

• Makes it easy to roll back

– As we shift more traffic over, let auto-scaling grow/shrink our instances of the new or old application

• Shut down the old when no traffic there
