This cookbook supports Debian and Red Hat platform families. It is tested on the two most recent major versions of CentOS, the most recent stable version of Debian, the most recent version of Fedora supporting yum, the current and previous LTS versions of Ubuntu, and the most recent version of Ubuntu.
