We have a similar workflow, but using Hosted Chef. OpsWorks looks very interesting, but I'm not sure if it's a replacement for Jenkins+CFN+Chef the way we've set things up. I'll be playing more with it when it's available, that's for sure!

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,

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.
