The chef code that deploys all the apps is pretty old skool, copy pasta'd from opensource cookbooks in alot of places, will never pass food critic or rubocop, and has no tests. I wouldn't really want to run that code on anything.
Because opensource cookbooks are unreliable or people should only rely on your cookbooks? Or old skool isn't new skool so it should be wholly disregarded?
open source or not, they should follow the best practices, these don't.
The fact is, really old open source cookbooks have been copy pasted, with the maintainers names changed, and hacked on top of. For example, the MySQL cookbook. This is against the apache2 licence that they were originally distributed under.
