This is a great question and something we've been trying to figure out ourselves. Historically, we were using Ansible to deploy Docker containers to EC2 instances, but have moved some services over to Kubernetes, Swarm and Lambda/Serverless. All of these are create the same deployment challenges -- the current products out there don't fit perfectly. The more we want to deploy to a higher level than "just Docker", the…

I've been dancing over the line between devops and backend development. It sounds like I am where you were historically, I'm using ansible to deploy docker images to EC2 instances, and a few monitoring scripts in python to do a little more finely tuned orchestration.

Lately I've been using home-brew chatops to manage products so it's nice to hear what other people are using. Operable looks really interesting, I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for the example cog!

We are evaluating Openshift Origin on an existing OpenStack on-premise cloud. So far I have been playing around with the oc cluster up deployment on a local workstation and it works fine but I haven't played around with the CI/CD option (they support jenkins deployments, etc). From the docs I see that there is a bit of complexity regarding the security constraints and integration of volumes that I need to wrap my hea…

My big issue was getting multi-node deployments working well in AWS. I hit walls of configuration issues, DNS issues, poor documentation on fields, and generally could not make much forward progress. Running locally or on a single node OpenShift was fantastic, the haproxies for ingress were easy to configure and launching new services was impressively easy. I was leveraging EFS as NFS mounts for my persistent volumes…

Yeah I can imagine that setting up a multi-node deployment on AWS might be an issue. Fortunately for openstack there is a redhat maintained heat template that should hopefully make the installation quite straightforward (but haven't tried it yet).

I recently(past 6 months) joined a new startup as the operations person, and we standardized on kubernetes for deployment.

If you are doing a lot with docker images, it might be worth considering Concourse CI (https://concourse.ci). I haven't played with it in any depth yet so I'm not sure how it compares with other solutions, but I like the idea of your entire build pipeline running through docker images. Theoretically you should even be able to run it in kubernetes.

I use Convox ( http://www.convox.com ). It is backed by ECS which gets me out of the infrastructure game for the most part and the CLI interactions in Convox are similar to heroku style commands so the learning curve is much simpler than deploying and learning my own Kubernetes or OpenStack or ECS configurations. They've also thought of the other things you need like environment based secrets(uses DynamoDB and KMS be…

We use Convox at Balsamiq as well.

We mainly use drone and have built a templating tool that wraps around kubernetes deployments to give us feedback on whether they were successful or not.

Example kube-deploy files: https://github.com/UKHomeOffice/kube-piwik

Example app / drone files: https://github.com/UKHomeOffice/docker-piwik

Platform Documentation: https://github.com/UKHomeOffice/hosting-platform

KD - our deployment tool https://github.com/UKHomeOffice/kd

I can't really comment on whether or not this specific pipeline actually works as I've just picked a random open source example but the workflow is there.

We also have a legacy tool and use jenkins sometimes, but mostly that won't be open sourced.

Legacy deployment tool - don't use this. https://github.com/UKHomeOffice/kb8or

Any thoughts on Concourse?

We do this for a living: http://gravitational.com/managed-kubernetes/

This is Kubernetes, plus monitoring of your choice, running on your infrastructure, remotely managed by our team. The side benefit is that the same setup works on different infrastructure options, so you deploy and run the same stack on AWS and also on-premise/bare metal.
