Question: Rolling this into a Lambda

[armenr]

Thank you for all of your fantastic work! This is one of my absolute favorite things about ASGs in AWS. I didn't want to opt out of Terraform/Pulumi and into CloudFormation or Ruby Sparkleformation just for the sake of benefitting from the autorolling feature.

The other alternative was to create a cloudformation template just for the ASG, rendered through Pulumi, then go down that terrible rabbithole.

You've made something that others - like me - needed. Thank you! :)

If I fork this away and work on turning into a Lambda a-la Lambda Layers, would you want me to open a PR back to you, or you'd prefer not to consider an implementation like that?

I’d love it, thank you. Multiple methods of deployment. The particular seed use case was a client on kubernetes. More than happy to have it as a lambda option.

I understand that in its current form, it's sitting as a running service, steadily listening. I was thinking of the convenience factor and the value case for having it run ad-hoc, on some ASG notification via SNS.

With what you've got in the repo already, it appears mostly trivial to extend it as such (possibly a famous last words statement), but I figured I'd check with you - the author, to make sure my estimation is accurate.

Thanks again! :)

Five most dangerous words and engineer can say, “how hard could it be?” :-)

[armenr]

Roger that. If I've learned anything in my 11 years, it's to always do the hardest stuff first, and never commit work or time on estimations of "ease" :)

Any way to communicate short-cycle, in case of questions?

[deitch]

LOL!

My travel schedule doesn't always allow short-cycle; being on a plane often precludes it. You can try on Slack, though. I am on the Kubernetes slack, Docker slack, Gophers slack, LFEdge slack, and even the databacker slack.

Hi @armenr,
Your idea of having having it run ad-hoc on Lambda sounds good 👍
Did you manage to get it working so far? Do you have anything what you can share? Thank you!

[deitch]

Did you get anywhere?

One of the nice things about the growth of go over the last few years was the ease with which this was made into a single binary, easily built for multiple platforms. So running this on Lambda should be straightforward.
