OpsWorks is so similar to what we ended up building for ourselves using cloudformation and chef-solo that I wish we'd waited.  We already have a practice of downloading a small tarball that chef-solo will use to download the appropriate bundle and run the roles we've defined there, including registering with a chef server.  This is really promising.

Just to allay people's fears and maybe stem the tide of speculation, we've worked with Amazon off-and-on a few times and have some involvement with OpsWorks.

There will probably be more visible press soon, as we get closer to #ChefConf 2013 (http://chefconf.opscode.com/).  I'll make sure the press and marketing team shed some light on this.

Cheers,

Chris

They had a twitter post about it.

No press release that I've seen yet :(

"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.
