Important

The AWS OpsWorks Stacks service reached end of life on May 26, 2024 and has been disabled for both new and existing customers. We strongly recommend customers migrate their workloads to other solutions as soon as possible. If you have questions about migration, reach out to the AWS Support Team on AWS re:Post or through AWS Premium Support.

The built-in deploy cookbook's deploy.rb attributes file defines the following attributes in the opsworks namespace. For more information on deploy directories, see Deploy Recipes. For more information on how to override built-in attributes to specify custom values, see Overriding Attributes.

deploy_keep_releases

node[:opsworks][:deploy_keep_releases]

  • For all other Amazon Linux or RHEL instances, the default value is apache.
