AWS Elastic Beanstalk adds Docker support
- dexcs 12y agoHow much CPU power does one instance get then? I mean are this the default ec2 instance types or something special?
- cjbprime 12y agoYou choose the instance type yourself when creating the Elastic Beanstalk app.
- threeseed 12y agoMakes you wonder when Docker will go 1.0 and be officially "ready for production".
- nickstinemates 12y agoWe've been pretty transparent (I think!) We will deliver 1.0 as soon as we feel that the core api is intact and we are comfortable supporting for 6-12 months.
- jander 12y agoWell done guys. An important step in adoption and a vote of confidence.
- jxf 12y agoI'm happy that AWS is bringing Docker into the ecosystem, but note that this currently allows for a maximum of one container per instance, which is a rather inefficient use of Docker and doesn't add a lot of value. Docker shines more when you can have a number of containers side-by-side, isolated from each other. If there's only one thing to "isolate", you don't get as much benefit.
- volume 12y agoWell, you can develop on your laptop in the same container and know you can upload/sync the same exact thing to production. That basic essential feature is absolutely valuable to me. This is super cool/useful. I say celebrate small wins, man!
- nickstinemates 12y agoI'd love to turn this around and ask - what would you feel is a good experience integrating the two? I spend a ton of time thinking about / talking about this; your insight is valuable.
- jxf 12y agoI'd want to see it as a `foreman`-like description: identify the Dockerfiles, map to an instance type, and say how many of each container you want.
- nickstinemates 12y agoSounds lovely.
