I speak for the whole Deis team when I say we're extra excited about this release as it lays the groundwork for our 1.0. Happy to answer any questions here.
This is a great example of how to do release announcements.<p>First sentence gives a broad summary of what is new. Next paragraph explains what Deis is. It could be a little longer, but by the end you get the gist what it does. Then the features, what changes could affect you, then known issues, roadmap, and finally a "Here's how you can help".
Awesome! I've been playing with all the components of the new Deis (CoreOS, etcd, fleet, docker) over the last few weeks and I -really- like them. This might be the future of how we do devops (I hope so, at least).<p>Thanks for this great update!
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you!<p>"Documentation for .... bare-metal provisioning are forthcoming."<p>That's kind of a downer, hoping for a sooner release.
I've been playing with Deis the past few weeks and really like it. There has been a lot to learn (CoreOS, Etcd, Fleet, Docker), but the documentation makes it quite easy to get a cluster up and running. The Deis folks have also been very friendly and helpful on Github and IRC. If you're having any trouble I strongly recommend reaching out to them. Keep up the good work!
Definitely going to re-evaluate deis. I like chef but I like it for SCM - using it for cluster management via databags was interesting but that problem is better solved elsewhere (i.e fleet, flynn's layer-0 or mesos).
