Chief is designed to do one thing:
run applications on AWS.
# Introduction
**Note** This project is part of [binary-fusion](https://github.com/jacobgroundwater/binary-fusion)
and aspects from that project may leak into this one.
Chief is an **Application Container** for use with Amazon Web Service Auto-Scaling Groups.
- chief _may_ become the application container for BF
- node.js core is focused on performance,
and `libuv` makes coordinating multiple subprocesses extremely easy
# About
## Overview
An _application container_ provides the following:
- upstart runs chief
- chief runs the application
- environment variables are loaded in via EC2 `user-data`
1. setup environment variables
2. start a set of processes based on a `Procfile`
## Goals
## AWS Auto-Scaling Groups
- polyglot `Procfile` application server
- obtain environment dynamically
- produce individual log files
A auto-scaling groups are great.
Chief helps make them even better.
## Details
### Installation
- an upstart script is provided under `${GENERAL_HOME}/share/upstart.conf`
- this should be installed on your EC2 image at
`/etc/init/chief.conf`
- the script _should_ auto-start
- the application _must_ be deployed at
`/home/ubuntu/bundle` and Procfile at
`/home/ubuntu/bundle/Procfile`
1. Install Chief — `npm install -g chief`
2. Export an Upstart Job — `sudo chief upstart -o /etc/init/chief.conf`
3. Install an **Application Bundle** to `/home/ubuntu/bundle/master`
## Todo
Chief reads the environment configuration from the AWS [user-data property][1], and passes it to your application.
- configure upstart script
- support scaling processes, i.e. `web=2,api=2`
- RESTful interface
- control process scaling
- get/set environment

## Application Bundles
Chief can run any kind of application, not just Node.js.
Chief runs Procfile application; the root of your bundle must contain a `Profile` like the following:
web: node server.js
log: node logger.js
## Production
Chief is designed to work in production.
Each process in your Procfile is started independently, and will be restarted if it crashes.
- application logs are kept at `/var/log/chief/<proc-key>.log`
- start using upstart — `sudo start chief`
- stop using upstart — `sudo stop chief`
# Todos
- configure upstart script via command line
- support process scaling i.e. `web=2,log=1`
- add log aggregation
