Chef Versions
When you call CreateStack, CloneStack, or UpdateStack we recommend you use the ConfigurationManager
parameter to specify the Chef version. The recommended and default value for Linux stacks is currently 12. Windows stacks use Chef 12.2. For more information, see Chef Versions.
You can specify Chef 12, 11.10, or 11.4 for your Linux stack. We recommend migrating your existing Linux stacks to Chef 12 as soon as possible.
Use this page to mock AWS OpsWorks in your testing and development.
Run our mock API sample using the open source WireMock library, or in the free edition of WireMock Cloud. You'll have a working API server simulating the behavior of AWS OpsWorks, which will allow you to keep building and testing even if the actual API you isn't currently available.
