Finally, we walked you through a process we recommend you use when creating a cookbook:
1. Define prerequisites and goals.
2. Generate the cookbook skeleton.
3. Let the documentation you write in the
README.md

4. Define metadata in the
metadata.rb
file.
5. Verify cookbook code as you write it using
kitchen converge
and
kitchen login
.
6. Verify conditions of success are met.
