I tried this approach, using Packer with Ansible to build the AMIs. It took 15-20 minutes to build an AMI. Would you suggest a different way of building the AMIs?
- znpy 6y agoThat was meant to be an example really, to aim at something less automatic and complex like kubernetes but still automated. You might also consider using containers without kubernetes. Keep the same AMI, package your app as a docker container, make VMs download and run the latest release from a private docker registry on startup. Publish a new docker image tagged as latest. Now you can rollout your autoscaling groups without running packer and ansible.
