DrupalCon New Orleans 2016: Loft Your Web Platform Into the Clouds with Immutable Infrastructure

This talk focuses on implementing autoscaling for Drupal web platforms in a public cloud environment, specifically using Amazon EC2. The speaker discusses the concept of immutable infrastructure and the creation of immutable deployment artifacts, such as machine images and Docker images, to enhance scalability. The session covers practical aspects of setting up a build process, leveraging autoscaling to manage traffic spikes effectively, and using Kubernetes for horizontal autoscaling of Docker containers in production. Experiences from Phase2 in working with major media customers and sports leagues provide valuable insights into these implementations.
