Walking in the Clouds
summary
A walkthrough of Engine Yard's cloud shows a working platform: one‑click deploys and GitHub post‑commit hooks push code across a three‑app server cluster backed by a master MySQL and EBS snapshots on AWS, HAProxy load balancing, monitoring and automatic instance replacement when nodes fail. Configuration is done with Chef recipes checked into repo, cloning reproduces production for staging, and scaling is vertical or horizontal up to 20 instances; Postgres and DB failover are still pending.
