The official set of Chef cookbooks used by AWS OpsWorks for Chef versions 11.10, 11.4, and 0.9, providing built-in recipes and templates for services like Apache, Rails, and more. It serves as the reference source for overriding built-in templates and writing custom cookbooks compatible with OpsWorks.
Use cases
- override built-in OpsWorks templates like apache vhost or rails database.yml
- write custom chef cookbooks for aws opsworks
- understand what recipes opsworks runs by default
- customize deployment recipes for chef 11.10 on opsworks
- find original cookbook sources for an opsworks stack
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy AWS OpsWorks stack on Chef 11.10 or earlier
- you need to override or extend the built-in OpsWorks cookbooks
- you want reference implementations of OpsWorks-compatible Chef recipes
When to avoid
- you are starting a new infrastructure project - AWS OpsWorks is deprecated
- you use Chef 12 or later, which has no built-in cookbooks
- you want modern configuration management on AWS (use CloudFormation, CDK, or plain Chef/Ansible)
