On Weave

I have been looking for a simple (as in bus factor of 0) deployment solution for single-tenanted and microservice applications for a while now, which sort of rules out tonnes of sophisticated tools out there. I read this blog post a couple of days ago: The fastest path to Docker on ECS: microservice deployment on Amazon EC2 Container Service with Weave Net. I was really impressed with the simplicity of Weave, so I decided to port the setup to a Terraform module because Infrastructure-as-code is it, and I plan to improve on it for a deployment solution I’m working on. You can find the Terraform module in this github repo. I think I’ve found a usable arsenal of deployment tools that work well together, and it includes Weave. I plan on writing about my solution once it works out there.
