Definitely going to re-evaluate deis. I like chef but I like it for SCM - using it for cluster management via databags was interesting but that problem is better solved elsewhere (i.e fleet, flynn's layer-0 or mesos).
- gabrtv 12y agoWhen we first released Deis, we were most interested in answering questions around workflow and how you should design a PaaS that leverages Docker from the ground up. We used node convergence and Chef databags because it worked and alternatives weren't available. Fast forward to today... CoreOS/Fleet and Mesos are finally stable enough to build upon. They offer simpler, faster and more reliable ways for managing containers across distributed systems. Meanwhile, we've been able to hone our workflow and tooling using the legacy cluster management implementation. We're a better platform because of it. TLDR; we _love_ Chef -- just not for managing containers across a distributed system.
