Using Ruby 2.0 on Amazon OpsWorks

Question

I\'d like to use Ruby 2.0 on Amazon OpsWorks, so I\'m trying the following:

• Choose custom cookbooks and set them to my fork of https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cook

Answer 1

Opsworks already has support for Ruby 2.0, it's just not exposed through the UI. However, you can easily enable it by simply passing in the following custom JSON

{
  "opsworks" : {
    "ruby_version" : "2.0.0"
  }
}

That's it! No need to install any custom packages or anything.
