Show HN: A step-by-step, open-source tool for easy Docker deployments to AWS

  It seems like cloudformation can replace a lot of this error handling stuff https://github.com/zenclabs/deploy/blob/master/src/service/aws/cluster/adhoc.ts https://github.com/zenclabs/deploy/blob/master/src/service/a...

    Yes indeed! The reason CloudFormation isn't used is because it's a lot slower. It also has its own bugs, so it didn't seem like a big win: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46280080/cannot-delete-amazon-ecs-cluster-using-cloudformation https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46280080/cannot-delete-a... See https://github.com/zenclabs/deploy/commit/72c1fc847661a0ed0df3c2286551a01522bc3ecc https://github.com/zenclabs/deploy/commit/72c1fc847661a0ed0d... for the old CloudFormation equivalent :) Happy to bring it back if there's demand for it!

  demo looks good.. link to Docs ?
  • fwouts 9y ago
    There's a quick manual in the README at https://github.com/zenclabs/deploy https://github.com/zenclabs/deploy. We'll add some docs on the landing page too :)

  I'm assuming this creates some sort of load balancing or ngnix routing to the cluster? (Some additional info on the page would be awesome!) Thanks for sharing such a useful tool!

    Currently, we set up a separate Application Load Balancer for each of your deployments. It's technically possible to share a single ALB for several deployments, but it becomes harder to manage and sharing the same ALB between dev/prod/staging for example isn't necessarily a safe design (e.g. if you run some load testing on one deployment, it should not put other deployments at risk). Will add more docs, thank you for the feedback!
