Description
Describe the Enhancement:
Update Chef Infra and Inspec scaffolding to use the same ruby package.
Describe the Need:
Use the same ruby package for Windows-based Chef Infra and Inspec scaffolding on dependencies in an effort to reduce package dependencies and storage requirements. Currently, Chef Infra scaffolding depends on chef/ruby27-plus-devkit while the Inspec scaffolding requires chef/ruby-plus-devkit. Both of these packages are ~1.3GB in size, which doubles the storage requirement for any node running both audit and config packages.
Current Alternative
Not one that I'm aware of.
Can We Help You Implement This?:
This is a privately managed package in the chef origin. I'd assume this would require Chef's attention to address this.

Research direction
The issue does not identify repository files, tests, or entry points; it names Chef Infra and InSpec scaffolding and privately managed packages in the chef origin. First confirm where those package dependencies are defined and whether this repository can change them. Done means both Windows scaffolds use one shared Ruby package without doubling the stated storage requirement.
