AWS OpsWorks Reviews

The overall archutecture presentation of clusters, servers and virtual machines is pretty easy to use. Also the easy way to automatize one complete stack from a single repository.

The old version of chef in the standalone instances

Provide different enviroments for production, staging and development.

The way to integer chef recipes into to the aws environment

permissions, sometimes is very hard and messy to give permission to users to a cerain Stacks

be more frinfly to use, sometimes is hard the UI, and should be an option to see the SSH keys that are hostes in the Application, i had a issue with this some time ago, then I asked to AWS support for where to review and check all the SSH keys and fingerprints and they didn't resolve my problem, then i figured out the keys were on the applicacion area, and i have to solve my problem by myself, other than that the support was very good.

we have pretty much all of our app in opsworks so all the deployments are hosted here

Easy to view running instances, easy to start / stop any when additional resources are needed.

Hard to debug when instances don't start / fail to start. Not much else I do not like

Gives the ability to scale our application to many users and handle increases / decreases in load

The auto healing, if opsworks detects that one of my instances is unhealthy it will stop it restart it and re-run my setup and configure setups. Several times this has happened overnight. My instance went down and came back up without my intervention.

the AWS engineers seem to add new features to opsworks as afterthoughts. The newest version of the amazon AMI was close to being released and we still had not gotten the previous release.

I was able to treat my instances more like cattle instead of pets. As new instance types are released I can upgrade without too many problems.

The simple ui to work with and how easy it is to understand.

IN all actuality there isnt anything i dont like about the software.

Taking task that required several people down to 1 person

The entire AWS system is very user friendly and works well for someone without extensive computer knowledge.

Up until this time, the only thing that I do not like is the lag time which is most likely more due to my internet connection.

We use AWS Ops Works as an extra storage storage service for interdepartmental communication.

It made my work so much easier and more efficient

I hope there is more demo videos on YouTube

I am managing my app with opswork.

.Instances offered by AWS is really good and the best cloud service providers as far as my knowledge

There is a lot to know to handle the AWS cloud and I don't consider it as dislike, but something I should be improving myself

We are using

.This has been one of the best features of AWS where you can spin up configuration management tools - DevOps tools and set it up easly on AWS

I have nothing to dislike about their services

Configuration management using puppet and chef has helped the company eliminate manual configuration setups and provided ease to our

Easy if usage,easy of deployment,Amazon's good support,

Price,the price could be better.since there are open source available now

It's good

Provides good standard methodology to manage
