Trust in cloud services?

Question

Software Deployment

Hello Great Habr!
A friend of mine from San Francisco makes a company that provides an online service that greatly simplifies the delivery (delivery, deployment) of web applications to various cloud hosts, like Rackspace, Amazon EC2, and even to your servers. (Note, you can see what is on nudow.com/ )
Tell me, please, kind web developer, would you trust your private data in the form of keys from a Git repository or access parameters to your hosting to a third-party service that would simplify the delivery of the application? If not, why not?
Do you, as a web developer, experience the pain of manually uploading updates to your PHP/Python/Ruby application, or do you not do manual delivery at all?
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Yes, I would.
No, there is no pain.
What is the difference between the service and Heroku or AppFog?

Answer 2

If the situation is with your own server, where several projects are running, and the service manages only some:
Keys from git - read-only - no problem.
An account on the server - only with the rights cut down to the very least (access to certain configs, certain folders, certain databases).
Of course - everything is under the logs.
If the service works with a server dedicated for it (and only for it), then the situation here is more like working with hosting. In this situation, I see no reason to restrict access. But git is still read-only.

Answer 3

beanstalkapp.com/ - such a service?

Answer 4

It seems to me that there are already quite a lot of deployment systems, who conveniently gives the keys, there are a bunch of open source systems for this, you can easily deploy it at home and not worry about the security of trusting an external system.

Answer 5

Well, why not. If the service is reliable and guarantees the security of data storage. I have a pretty good idea - nimbox.ru. So far he hasn't had any problems.
