pm-nginx Cookbook

The pm-nginx Cookbook is a wrapper cookbook for the chef_nginx library cookbook that provides the ability to set default across all nginx deployments in the organization. By wrapping the chef_nginx cookbook, the resources within that cookbook are inherently provided and additional tests can be crafted to ensure consistency and maintainability.

Requirements
