Chapter 4. Custom Resources
In this chapter, we're going to discuss the exciting changes released in Chef 12.5 that transform the old LWRPs and HWRPs into the much easier-to-create and use Custom Resources. We'll start with a look at the differences between the old and new, but by the end of the chapter, the reader will know how to build and use Custom Resources.
