Looks interesting, but it seems strange to me that it's something of an island.
There's no integration with Elastic Load Balancer, no integration with RDS or in fact any of the other AWS services except for deployment from S3.

- nsoun 14y agoYeah, I spotted that too, it's interesting that this service puts the focus on coordination + orchestration with additional app servers versus leveraging existing AWS services. I believe the general intent of this is to enable users using non-AWS services (yes, I know that's redundant) to more efficiently work with outside apps on Amazon - the example in their Layers guide is specific to Redis for example. (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/workinglayers-custom.html http://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/working...). So this service basically says - "Just because we don't have a Redis Amazon Service for you to snap into doesn't mean you should not use AWS or look to other PaaS, instead, easily integrate other apps with OpsWorks."
