Pretty sure the omnibus packages from opscode are the "official" ones you want to go with, they will get updated far more often than thru Ubuntu apt sources. 


Either that or update thru rubygems.

So I was checking this out and I don't see 10.22 available in the apt repositories for Quantal. Is that something in progress?

I'll recommend to  move to chef 10.22 , this will let you see what all will break if you upgrade to chef 11 (notably the attributes setting). Once you have fixed those deprecation warning then move to chef 11. Even with chef 11 certain things might break, but in most cases they wont be code related breakage.

I have a few different AMIs which are still using 10.12.0, which bugs me with the slow startup time, and I just found an issue with the newer java cookbook that seems to be related to the Chef version as well.

Should I work to upgrade everything to the latest 10.x release, or should I consider moving to 11? What are the advantages of 11 over 10? The server is still running 10.x, are 11 clients backwards compatible with a 10.x server? (If yes, I may upgrade the clients now and work on the server down the line.)

Also, is there a good way to upgrade chef from a chef cookbook, or is that something better left to OS-based management? I originally installed it via the Ubuntu repository, but I removed the apt repo from the AMIs to lock the version as I was unsure how newer versions might break management (later experience indicates that it's not nearly as fragile as Puppet was).
