Spawning new clouds repaidly with chef is only one of its possible use cases, maintaining them is another. Chef would gain a lot of traction and support in the greater ISP arena if these 'run once' features are implemented.

Are you looking for something more complicated than adding a not_if into your current recipe sets?  I have a lot of "run once" recipes in this fashion.

Or, you can just put a big if() around the recipe blocks. The whole thing is just interpreted ruby.
