How about an Amazon-managed Docker (not shit ElasticBeanstalk) infrastructure/config management system? If they handled things like EBS integration, orchestrat

  From my understanding, after talking to them at Web Summit, something like this is in the works. And they're aware of how incredibly complicated the AWS console is becoming. I don't know how or when they plan to address it, however.

    They promise lots of things (like cross region VPC peering) to person to person at Summits...

      Yes, I am still waiting for something prettier than software VPN or OpenS/WAN. Their docs show 5 ways to connect VPCs, all of them complex, all of them with significant downsides. One would think this sort of thing would be easier.

  On Google Cloud Platform, there is a new service called Google Container Engine (currently in alpha). It uses Kubernetes to manage Docker containers, running on Google Compute Engine. You could also run Kubernetes on EC2 if you wanted to.

  It takes a couple of days to get Ansible playbooks set up to deploy CoreOS VMs onto EC2 with a decent Docker setup and EBS. I know, I've just done it. And I don't like Ansible, and haven't used it seriously before (I use it for project because it's on a contract and it's easy-ish for them to find people who understands Ansible if/when it's needed) so it took longer than I'd have liked. Frankly, I don't understand why people are so happy to lock themselves tighter into AWS.
