Best Practice to deploy your fleet with asg module

[raul rodriguez]

Hi guys,

I've been a very happy ansible user for the past 3 months, and I found the docs & community are very helpful.

But now, I'm looking to deploy three small asg groups.

I've been looking to find the best way to do this, but while there is an example for asg module, I haven't seen any best practice or a playbook that executes the whole workflow.

This one was suggested by @mdehaan

My main concern is when creating the ami, is it best bake a full ami with everthing ready or have a half-baked ami that will be provisioned by ansible pull or something else to get the latest code from git repo.

The last option looks to be more flexible, specially if you'll be continuously deploying to your cluster.

I wonder if we could gather best practices so later we can add it to the docs.

Thanks
