Why haven't you done this yet, twits?!?

Because you're lazy

I'd like to migrate the static site over to AWS where we get a free SSL certificate that works with the new changes coming from Google, and costs about $1/month.

I'll eat the cost.

Thoughts?

[kbaley]

Do it!

This will be done when:

• [x] Setup Amazon Organization for Western Devs won't work as intended
• [x] Create S3 bucket
• [x] Setup Cloudfront Cache for SSL
• [x] Update build script to deploy to S3 bucket
• [x] Update build script to invalidate cloud front cache unnecessary
• [ ] Configure Route 53 for DNS for western devs domains

Why not Azure using some free MVP credits and Let's Encrypt?

Would Application Insights be useful for us on Azure? I know very little about it

[davidwesst]

@agileramblings -- Let's Encrypt setup is a whole new thing for someone, namely me, to learn. So, although I wouldn't mind using the Azure credits, the SSL certificate stuff is easier on Amazon. To make it easier, we could use a DigiCert SSL certificate as they are free for MVPs, or use something like Cheap SSL Security for a cert with Azure but then that relies on the hosting person to continue to have their MVP status.

Also, it means we can't try and make money with Western Devs, which although is unlikely going to be a problem, maybe we want it to be moving forward.

[davidwesst]

@kbaley -- I know little about it too, but I hear it's pretty solid for application analytics. If we knew what sort of "exact" stuff we wanted to report on, I think it would prove to be useful.

For now, I think Google Analytics is doing the trick. The day we decided to make the Western Devs "app" is when I think Azure Analytics comes in. Maybe @dylan-smith can correct me, or add some information.

too much talking here. not enough doing

[agileramblings]

Did @David Wesst just complain about having to learn something?

@agileramblings Heh, no.

I did learn how to make it work but it was too much of a pain in the ass considering I got it all wired up last night on S3/Cloudfront and Travis-CI. A lot of in-depth Azure knowledge that wouldn't help me with anything else.

Amazon was just easier, and now it's done minus the DNS stuff which @kbaley and @dbelcham have to help with.
