AWS OpsWorks

[jansiwy]

This service lets you deploy apps in AWS OpsWorks after pushing to the configured branch.

Wow, this is really awesome. I'll see about getting it merged sometime this week.

I'm not super familiar with OpsWorks. How do you guys access the code from the deployment side?

[jansiwy]

OpsWorks distributes an SSH deploy key to the servers

https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks/blob/master-chef-11.4/scm_helper/libraries/git.rb

and triggers a git clone (or shallow clone) on that servers

https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks/blob/master-chef-11.4/deploy/definitions/opsworks_deploy.rb

Is there any way for this to trigger only after a successful CI build?

Also, we have two different stacks using the same codebase. There doesn't appear to be a way to add multiple OpsWorks services. How can we deploy to different stacks/apps depending on the branch?

Hey, @stevenspiel 👋

Neither of those two things are possible with this service currently. And as mentioned here -- we don't accept changes to these services other than security fixes.

I think your best bet would be to use a plain webhook, point it at a small service you'd build and use that service to implement these workflows (checking statuses, calling multiple targets, and whatever else you need).
