Service Template Data
The following settings can be used during a Chef Habitat service’s lifecycle. This means that you can use these settings in any of the plan hooks, such as init, or run, and also in any templatized configuration file for your application or service.
These configuration settings are referenced using the Handlebars.js version of Mustache-style tags.
