Twin Cities Code Camp

With all of the maturing configuration frameworks available (Chef, Puppet, Ansible, and others), what can you accomplish with pre-packaged containers such as Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk?

This talk will explore exactly what is provided with this Elastic Beanstalk for load-balanced multi-node server farms, both web and worker roles - and how multiple environments, configuration, health check, and rolling upgrades are all handled.

In addition, we'll talk about how one team used Github, Jenkins, and Elastic Beanstalk to create continuous delivery pipelines for a set of related applications across multiple environments.

Finally, we'll talk pitfalls and gotchyas - and why you might prefer to deploy via fully scripted goodness.
