You can now use OpsWorks to deploy, manage, and scale your applications running on Windows Server. Previously, you would manually run commands or PowerShell scripts on each Windows Server in your fleet in order to install or update software packages and security patches. Now, you can use Chef recipes with OpsWorks to keep your servers up-to-date as well as react to lifecycle events such as running launch and shutdown scripts or adapting your application’s configurations. You can also use OpsWorks to easily grant users different permissions and access to your stack via RDP. OpsWorks for Windows Server supports Chef 12.2.
