I have to ask. Why do you guys like this sort of stack?
Just a serious question.
I looked at this and the first thought i had was "This is the 'zero-control/zero-visibility stack'.
You'd have no idea what the server is doing at a given time. Ok, now you could add more tools and installs into all the automated stuff you got going, but that just adds to the setup and maintenance times, plus more points of failures you have no visibility to once it's up and running.

How long would this build take, and then how long would each update/deployment to this system take? I know it varies based on project/app/site, but i'm willing to wager it's more time than any of a dozen other approaches to website development?

I just see nothing but major headaches on the horizon using this sort of setup.

Change my mind?
