This is a great write up, thanks for sharing the lessons learned.
I wonder if the open questions about instance management are solved by the "Docker for AWS" beta.
We are entering the commodity phase for orchestration software.
Blogs and HN comments are full of success stories on Swarm, Kubernetes, Mesos, Nomad and ECS.
There are also a few warnings, like the routing issue in this review, but it's simply a matter of time before those get sorted.
What's really going on here is that we are all learning how to handle complexities of distributed systems in the cloud. These new foundations means we can run more sophisticated apps easier and more reliably.
