We are trying to upgrade chef-client version and push job cookbook is not getting deployed. It seems that i might need to upgrade the cookbook.

chef-client version - chef-16.5.64-1.el7.x86\_64

[push-jobs](https://blog.chef.io/new-chef-automate-functionality-and-end-of-life-impacts) were deprecated in the middle of last year, and hit end of life in December. Too, [the cookbook](https://github.com/chef-boneyard/push-jobs-cookbook) has been moved to the boneyard. Your best option for a replacement right now is [chef-run](https://docs.chef.io/workstation/chef_run/). Sorry I don't have better news, but let us know if we can help with anything else!

Thanks for your quick response!!

What is the alternative of push-jobs? The idea of using push jobs was to perform job without ssh-ing into machine.

should we completely stop using push-jobs?

Yeah, unfortunately, there's no 1:1 replacement. chef-run is the best option.
