OpsWorks
A (relatively) niche service that helps you automate operations via Puppet or Chef.
- Puppet and Chef
- They are automation platforms that allow you to use code to automate the configuration of your servers.
- You could describe Puppet and Chef as (non-AWS-created) alternatives to Systems Manager and some of its capabilities.
- AWS OpsWorks can be a valuable server management & configuration service for companies / AWS customers who don’t want to use (or can’t use) Systems Manager.
