The URL is throwing 404, probably due to it being private.

Would love to see it. I am working on something similar.

It looks like it was supposed to a hyphen, not an underscore:

[eropple → zerocrates]

Whoops, yeah. My bad, I switched from an underscore to a hyphen halfway through the project. It's still inconsistent, because we had a case of company-going-unders and I haven't needed it since.

I personally haven't come across someone moving from AWS to Heroku.

Also, are you using elastic beanstalk to manage your app or just regular ec2 instances? Using beanstalk should simplify most of the tasks for you.

Wrong link. Correct link is here -

Sorry for that, original link should work again.

Cool concept.

Question - Why not use cross account IAM roles instead of asking for API keys?

[tbronchain → bender80]

We allow you do use IAM roles to give us access to your AWS account, as explained in the documentation (http://docs.visualops.io/source/getting-started/aws.html)

[bender80 → tbronchain]

What I am seeing is a straight IAM Role. I meant cross account, so visualops AWS account will be given permission.

[tbronchain → bender80]

Cross account IAM access is on our roadmap. You can vote for it on our public roadmap board: https://trello.com/b/wQdmsmp0/madeira-idea

On: Write AWS CloudFormation templates in Python

[bender80]

This is great. I am just starting to learn Cloudformation and will be quite helpful for me.

Also, what's your opinion on using boto instead of cloudformation? If you use boto with ansible, all your infrastructure code is in python and in a single code base.

[pas256 → bender80]

boto is great and I am a big fan of it. I think the combination of troposphere and boto is very powerful. Using boto along can certainly get the job done, but: - it will take longer to come up as calls will happen in serial (CloudFormation does parallel execution) - you will have to do your own dependency management (not hard, just get the order right) - you will have to do your own teardown when you are finished with the resources (this is why I would use both)

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Thank you. Does this support IAM Roles?

[clarete → bender80]

Not currently! Please feel free to open a ticket about that! Thank you! :)

Ok here you go.

Wish I could help, but I don't know ruby :)

Very cool. I like the awake layout. Listening to some rock music now.
