title: Using Ruby 2.0 on Amazon OpsWorks
body: <p>I'd like to use Ruby 2.0 on Amazon OpsWorks, so I'm trying the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Choose custom cookbooks and set them to my fork of <a href="https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks</a></li>
  <li>Update all version numbers here <a href="https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks/blob/master/ruby/attributes/ruby.rb" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks/blob/master/ruby/attributes/ruby.rb</a> to 2.0 values. </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>This doesn't seem to have any effect, though.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Do custom cookbooks override their built in counterparts?</li>
  <li>Does OpsWorks use the Ruby recipe from the cookbook for basic Ruby setup?</li>
  <li>The same question applies to Nginx too - can I control versions and settings by changing my fork for the cookbooks?</li>
  </ul>
