take a look at my post from earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13031870 . I'd be interested to hear your (and others') thoughts.

Since you're doing research in this area, have you taken a look at something like https://www.dyadicsec.com/ at all? I looked at the whitepaper a while ago, and it seemed to make sense, though I was way out of my depth

Check out concourse.ci [example pipeline at https://ci.concourse.ci/ ]. It fully supports building docker images - https://github.com/concourse/docker-image-resource

I'd love to hear more about your solution. Are you saying that you've created an algorithm distinct from paxos/raft/zab that's more robust?

Being able to rebuild critical infrastructure from source, and know that you'll be able to reliably deploy it, is a _huge_ win for security. In that case, you might be interested in bosh: http://bosh.io/docs/prob

You should take a look at https://bosh.io/ . It does what you want wrt devs being responsible for defining how the software runs, environment reproducibility, etc. Unfortunately, the learning curve is pretty steep.

As Titanous said, BOSH operates at a lower level than Flynn. You could use BOSH to deploy Flynn, hypothetically. A more direct comparison would be Cloud Foundry.

The most production ready versions of this kind of thing are http://geode.incubator.apache.org and https://ignite.apache.org .

Terraform's model (local state files) is not something that works well, in my opinion. Since AWS doesn't know that you want some operations done "transactionally" (like with CloudFormation), you can easily end up with a

Oh, so kind of like: http://concourse.ci/ ?

You mention Puppet and Chef, but how does it compare to more holistic tools like terraform, juju, and bosh?

There is. It's called Cloud Foundry: http://www.cloudfoundry.org/index.html

Take a look at bosh: http://drnicwilliams.com/2012/05/15/bosh-what-how-when/ . It has its own problems, but it does exactly what you want, and is used for large scale deployments.

You can run databases inside of cf as well: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-release

It sounds like you want Cloud Foundry (or OpenShift, which I have no experience with). ( http://www.cloudfoundry.org/about/index.html )
