Deploy and Manage Ruby on Rails Apps on AWS

on YouTube ↗56m

" summary

Deploys a sample Rails app to AWS using an OpsWorks two-layer stack (Rails app server + MySQL EC2), runs Chef recipes to provision instances, and performs deploys that run rake db:migrate and precompile assets. Adds email delivery via the aws-sdk-rails gem + Amazon SES after verifying addresses and attaching an IAM instance role with SES permissions so sending actually works (SES sandbox limits apply). Bonus shows CloudFront asset caching. No SSL by default; instances use small types and the lab demo successfully completes.
