Review: "Engine Yard for rapid application deployment"
Engine Yard is used to help us put out applications into the cloud in a rapid manner without having to focus completely (we do partially...) on disaster recovery in terms of backups and recovery procedures. We love that we are in multiple availability zones via a point and click set up and that we are able to launch with minimal infrastructure as code work.
- Quick deployments
- Easily integrate your code from GitHub
- Ability to recover site quickly to different zone when AWS has a widespread outage
- Embracing new Amazon Web Servicess(AWS) features
- Security groups need more granularity
- Audit trails of what happens by who in environment, especially when VM is deleted
