Overall Satisfaction with AWS OpsWorks
Opsworks is one of the main orchestration system we use for creating AWS services and connecting between them.
We've been using Opsworks for nearly 8 years and it has successfully allowed us to build and host infrastructure for large Drupal websites.
We've been using Opsworks for nearly 8 years and it has successfully allowed us to build and host infrastructure for large Drupal websites.
- connect between serveral AWS services (EC2, RDS, ELB)
- easy configuration management deployment via Chef
- integrating with newer AWS services (ie. ALB)
- keeping up with Chef releases (ie. locked at 12 currently)
- very quick way of creating new infrastructure
- low maintenance costs
- easy to create high availability setups thus reducing costs
Opsworks will become EOL soon and we have been using the recommended Systems Manager solution recently which offers a lot more flexibility in terms of orchestration technology (ie. higher Chef versions) and easier to integrate with even more AWS services.
