Only useful within AWS OpsWorks; cannot be directly used for general Chef automation outside this service, limiting flexibility for broader infrastructure management.
Most branches are for older, deprecated Chef versions (11.4 and 0.9), with no built-in support for Chef 12 as stated in the README, hindering modern adoption.
As official AWS cookbooks, updates are tied to OpsWorks releases and the master branch is unused, potentially lagging behind community-driven alternatives in features and fixes.
