Ruby is amazing, but it isn't always the easiest tool to get set up for local development. Vagrant continues to be a great tool for automated and reproducible development environments, but it often falls short of real production scenarios. Otto, the successor to Vagrant, encompasses the entire workflow managing local development environments, infrastructure creation, and application deployment in just three easy commands. You can have the Heroku-like workflow while maintaining full control over the stack, without all the overhead. Come meet Otto! More and more, organizations desire extended control over their full stack. From development to production, controlling the entire stack ensures parity, reduces bugs in production, and ultimately makes for happier developers :). With Otto, you can say goodbye to staging/qa/testing environments because any user can easily create all the required infrastructure in a single command. This saves on infrastructure costs, maintenance, and makes for an amazing disaster recovery story! Following the story of a fictitious Ruby app, I will deploy their application to AWS in just a two commands in live-demo format. Otto has codified knowledge of today's best practices for deploying applications, so even with no operational experience, a developer can create and manage infrastructure using today's best practices. Otto brings the "Heroku-like" workflow to the command line, but you control the entire stack from top to bottom! After each phase, we will "uncover the magic", digging into the commands Otto is running, the decisions Otto is making, and the various customizations that can be injected along the way.
