We've got some changes coming along these lines. Looks like we might also be able to use CloudFront for hostname routing.

This is a really great point. So far our strategy for this has been to build containers that mock various AWS services locally. This approach is still a bit experimental but please feel free to check out these repos:

We picked Rack because we like the conceptual analogy. The naming conflict is unfortunate but there are a limited set of good words available. We hope that context will make the meaning clear.
Thank you for commenting :)

That's for the default of t2.small

ECS is incredibly powerful but definitely a lower-level primitive. We look at it sort of like a Kubernetes that we don't have to run for ourselves.
Scale has been great. We have customers running hundreds of containers on a single app without breaking a sweat.

I've noticed this as well. It seems like the docker.local hostname can sometimes take a long time to resolve. If I resolve that hostname and visit the IP directly it generally works great.
Definitely check out the beta forums as most of the issues I've found have already been reported with workarounds.

One of the founders of Convox here. Happy to answer any questions about Convox or deploying to AWS in general.

If you're using ECS to manage your clusters on AWS take a look at Convox. We're building an open source platform that makes building, versioning, and deploying code to AWS via ECS incredibly easy.

Absolutely! Our plan is to release support for the container registry as soon as it's generally available.

It may be possible but it would take a substantial amount of work and I wouldn't recommend it. Convox achieves much of its stability and scalability from relying on hosted a AWS services.

You could definitely do this. Create one master app and then have it connect back to ECS to spawn more apps.
ddollar | 10 years ago | on: Convox – Launch a Private Cloud in Minutes
Absolutely! We have a few people using Convox to run and scale workers without a web app.
ddollar | 10 years ago | on: Convox – Launch a Private Cloud in Minutes
Yes! We have formed a business behind convox and current have a small team working on it full time. We are very confident that it will hit 1.0. Thanks for your interest :)
ddollar | 10 years ago | on: Convox – Launch a Private Cloud in Minutes
Thanks for the interest :) We have been trying to figure out the best way to describe our platform and "private cloud" seems the closest.

Woops, I ninja-edited my comment above before I saw this. Yes you can do this, see the CLI command above.

This was recently added by a contributor!

You can update an existing cluster using something like `convox system scale --count 5 --type c4.xlarge` from the CLI. If you change the instance type your cluster will be rolled one at a time with no downtime.

That's very kind of you to say :)
Currently the EC2 instances in your Convox installation all have public IP addresses but this is currently being addressed
