What are Policyfiles?
Policyfiles are a way to create an immutable collection of cookbooks, their dependencies, and attributes that are defined in a single document uploaded to the Chef Infra server.
What to do if the Policyfiles model isn’t compatible with your workflow?
If the Policyfiles isn’t compatible, we may find that Berkshelf offers a similar (and still supported) experience to Librarian-Chef.
