OpsWorks

AWS OpsWorks provides flexible management of stacks and applications, covering AWS resource provisioning, configuration management, application deployment and health monitoring.

At its core, OpsWorks comprises three services:

• OpsWorks for Chef Automate
• OpsWorks for Puppet Enterprise
• AWS OpsWorks Stacks

Concepts

• Stacks are a collection of AWS resources and definitions of their intended state.
• Layers are components of the stack:
  • Service layers represent AWS services with a specific configuration.
  • OpsWorks layers represent EC2 instances running a specific software workload.
