I'm curious to hear about how it works for people too. Hopefully you really get to use Chef in ways it was intended, not just some sorta-based-on-Chef workflow. I fear it could be like when I looked at RightScale a while back and "uses Chef" meant you could kinda run a really old version of chef-solo wrapped up in some custom stuff and that's it. Then again, higher expectations of AWS are probably justified.

Subject: [chef] Peoples' thoughts on Amazon AWS OpsWorks?

"Since AWS OpsWorks uses Chef recipes, you can leverage hundreds of community-built configurations such as PostgreSQL, Nginx, and Solr."

This is apparently based on Scalarium, from AWS' Peritor acquisition.  Interesting discussion at ycombinator: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5243196

Haven't really dug into it yet.  Surprised nothing from OpsCode about it.
