I understand the concern about potential black box on the deployment side. Few points 1) this is an open-source project with a relatively small code-base and few moving parts 2) Chef does most of the heavy lifting on the deployment side using Databags and traditional Chef runs and 3) the build/release/run workflow is described here: http://docs.deis.io/en/latest/gettingstarted/concepts/#build...

With regard to support, OpDemand (creator/maintainer of Deis) will be launching paid support and professional services once the project stabilizes. Price points are not set yet. How would you like to see it priced?

Cheaply :)

Thanks for the response, I'll delve into the docs more. What would be really cool would be a snapshot/description of a sample deployment I could look through. A fake ssh session demo in the browser that I can poke around in would be pretty awesome. Reverse engineering chef cookbooks from github isn't exactly an easy way to learn about what a product does.

More specifically as per support pricing, I'd love site licensing as opposed to a per-deployment or per-server setup.

Just a thought: what would fit my needs almost perfectly is some sort of tiered email/forum/ticket based support option, which is upgradeable to phone/dedicated support when I'm doing deployments
