I tried the middle ground. I used Packer with Ansible to build the VM images, on the theory that the auto-scaling group should use final, ready-to-run images. My image builds took 15-20 minutes. Also, for the services that had only one instance, it was way too tempting to just SSH into the one VM and update things manually rather than suffering a full build and deploy. Do you have any suggestions for a better way to do this middle-ground approach?

- mwcampbell 6y agoThat advice is impossible to act on. No one can be perfect at everything. So it's necessary to be mediocre at some things in order to accomplish the things one really cares about. So yes, I'm mediocre at operations. I want to get better, but if I tried to be perfect at operations, I wouldn't get other things done. So, do you have any suggestions that can actually be put into practice?
