It needs some massaging on the web servers in order to actually respond without a 500 error

I'm currently writing a blogpost about how to spawn up a simple Rails stack. I've got a broken instance in a boot-stop-terminate-boot loop. It's very beta.

  I was hoping to do the same (albeit much easier to follow than their own walkthrough), but I'm going to sit back for a while and see what develops. These could be early teething problems, so I'm not going to judge them so soon. That said, I'm surprised by what's not included in the main interface (VPC, ELB, to start with).

    you hit the nail on the head (oppositely, I was surprised to see them deploy out HA Proxy by default). The lack of VPC makes this far less appealing. I've been working on a scaling capable VPC configuration with quite a few moving parts and got so giddy with excitement over the potential of OpsWorks, then I tested it out and realized it's nowhere near ready for prime time and is missing some major players. Still...Props to them and am excited to see it mature.

Surely that's only because of the chef cookbooks used. As long as your cookbooks are working this should work.

  I followed the guide exactly, so I could get a real feel for the system as I progressed. It wasn't possible to follow the guide like this, as I had to SSH onto the boxes to find out what was going wrong. I'm sure it'll be fixed eventually - I'm just letting people know that, right now, the walkthrough is unreliable
