[chef] Re: what cookbook are people using to interact with AWS these days?

[Ben Hartshorne < >]

We use the opscode AWS cookbook and added some piops stuff, but haven't upstreamed the changes.  (bad devops, bad!)  We're also using an older version of the aws cookbook, so our changes can't even apply to the current version, making it harder to upstream.  I'm sorry I can't give you a better answer, but yes, at least, we are using the opscode cookbook (and wish it would handle piops on its own).

Maybe this is another candidate for the orphaned cookbooks list?  It's got three outstandand pull requests, the oldest being 8 months old.

Are people still using Opscode's AWS cookbook, or is there a better one to use?

I'm looking to automate the creation of provisioned IOPS volumes and that cookbook doesn't seem to do that. Additionally it seems to use an old version of the right_aws Gem (and I'm not even sure if Rightscale is still officially maintaining that). [1]
