The AWS OpsWorks Stacks service reached end of life on May 26, 2024 and has been disabled for both new and existing customers.

Represents a layer's settings.

The following example shows how to use Chef search to search through a single data bag item and then multiple data bag items to write messages to the Chef log with the layers' names and short names:

layer = search("aws_opsworks_layer").first
Chef::Log.info("********** The layer's name is '#{layer['name']}' **********")
Chef::Log.info("********** The layer's shortname is '#{layer['shortname']}' **********")

search("aws_opsworks_layer").each do |layer|
  Chef::Log.info("********** The layer's name is '#{layer['name']}' **********")
  Chef::Log.info("********** The layer's shortname is '#{layer['shortname']}' **********")
end
