What's that creature living in my cloud?
summary
Many attempts to "cattle-ize" systems stall and leave odd hybrids: a teacup pig — instances treated as replaceable but managed by hand via the cloud console and manual image creation, creating silos and human error and growing into a 500-pound operational mess; block storage attached as multiple volumes that Chef or Salt can’t treat as a single unit; a barn cat like a hardware load balancer that prevents autoscaling and hides app logic; and please, don't deploy with ssh because it invites drift and security nightmares.
