AWS OpsWorks announcement using Chef

[Felipe Salum]

I wonder if PuppetLabs will work with Amazon to try to add Puppet as an option to OpsWorks as well ?

I don't think people using Puppet with AWS in a stable fashion would try to move to OpsWorks and migrate everything to Chef, but new customers/startups would think twice in choosing Puppet if the service offered in AWS OpsWorks is based on Chef.

I haven't tried OpsWorks yet, so I can't say much.

Any thoughts ?

Regards,
Felipe

It makes sense for Amazon to go with something like Chef, because it is more cloud oriented and it's easier to hack something up just to get it up and running quicker. Chef is more like shell scripting on steroids I would say, at least, that's how many people use it.

We're going to be talking to AWS about adding Puppet support to OpsWorks
soon. It is our understanding from them that this is based on an
acquisition they made of a Chef-based solution rather than an
endorsement of Chef.

More news when we have it!

Thanks

Great.

The company I work for is both a large AWS customer and user of puppet. Very interested in how this progresses.
