AWS OpsWorks Stacks is no longer accepting new customers. Existing customers will be able to use the OpsWorks console, API, CLI, and CloudFormation resources as normal until May 26, 2024, at which time they will be discontinued. To prepare for this transition, we recommend you transition your stacks to AWS Systems Manager as soon as possible. For more information, see AWS OpsWorks Stacks End of Life FAQs and Migrating your AWS OpsWorks Stacks applications to AWS Systems Manager Application Manager.
AWS OpsWorks Stacks uses Chef cookbooks to handle tasks such as installing and configuring packages and

Note
AWS OpsWorks Stacks currently supports Chef versions 12, 11.10.4, 11.4.4, and 0.9.15.5. However,
Chef 0.9.15.5 is deprecated and we do not recommend that you use it for new stacks. For
convenience, they are usually referred to by just their major and minor version numbers.
Stacks running Chef 0.9 or 11.4 use Chef Solo
