Process Scheduling and Code Sync

Build and Process Scheduling

• #1231 Provider: Build and Process [@ddollar]
• #1263 Properly support ecr repos for build auth [@ddollar]
• #1264 Handle SSH builds using SSH keys [@ddollar]

Code Sync Updates

Code sync now uses FSEvents on MacOS and inotify on Linux to reduce the amount of CPU used by the file sync process.

NOTE: Our current CLI release process involves cross-compiling on Linux so the cgo extensions required for these features are not yet enabled on MacOS.

• #1252 Code sync updates [@ddollar]

20160927142616: Merge pull request #1256 from convox/20160923

[RELEASE] 20160923

Lifecycle Handler and General Enhancements

The instance lifecycle handler has been updated to handle instance terminations more gracefully. Instances terminating in an AutoScalingGroup will now gracefully remove that instance from all load balancers, removes the instance from the ECS cluster, and waits for connections to the instance to drain before allowing the instance to terminate.

Enhancements

• #1239 Make instance lifecycle handler smarter [@ddollar]
• #1242 Correctly use existing values during stack updates [@ddollar]
• #1243 Use filesystem events wrapper to find changes rather than polling [@ddollar]
• #1245 add --wait to rack update [@ddollar]
