Amazon Linux 2016.09 and opsworks_nodejs #399

Recently, while upgrade some servers I came across a version issue between Amazon Linux 2016.09 and the Node.js cookbook.

Specifically, this documentation indicates that currently the only version of Node.js that is support by Amazon Linux 2016.09 is 0.12.15. Unfortunately the version the Chef 11.10 cookbooks default to is 0.12.10.

For what it's worth, it's very easy to get around the issue by manually specifying the version for Node.js but I was more curious if the default shouldn't be updated to work with the most recent Amazon Linux version.

This only looks like an issue. The Node.js version in that attribute file isn't used because the Node.js version is always specified in the JSON blob we send with a command. The documentation is still accurate. We might as well get rid of this attribute altogether and Node.js apps would still work.
