The goal of the 4.0 release is to enhance the aws_native stack to also include Chef Automate 2 and Supermarket, providing the complete stack to customers.

Those new servers are provided in non-HA flavors today, however they use the EC2 System Autorecovery feature, plus self-snapshotting of data, in order to provide more than acceptable availability.

Major improvements to be excited about:

  • Switch to CentOS and stock RHEL AMIs instead of Amazon Linux
  • refactor cloudformation into nested stacks, launched by a single main.yaml stack
  • Add a Supermarket stack (auto-recovering standalone)
  • Add a Chef Automate 2 stack (auto-recovering standalone)
  • Perform automatic nightly EBS snapshots of the Automate and Supermarket data volumes
  • Simplify and deduplicate the IAM profiles, Security Groups and Log groups between the stacks.
  • Update the before.sh script to automatically install awscli and cfn-init on stock RHEL
  • Trim the allowed instance type list to T3, M5 and C5 classes because it's 2018 and we can all have nice things
  • More thorough testing in travis
