So do you guys manually maintain your versions in a role cookbook metadata file for each role? Or do you still use your environment files because you don't have a reason to have more than one version of a service in production at the same time? Did you just do a massive switchover to role cookbooks? Or have you slowly transitioned, having some basic roles as well as role cookbooks for a time?

 

We use role cookbooks but mostly keep the versions of the cookbooks in the environment. We have contemplated moving some version information into the role cookbook itself but as yet we have not found a scenario that justifies the extra cost of this variation.
