How about highly specific parameters like IP address etc.

I am sorry if this is a dumb question but I am coming from puppet and
I guess I still have that the puppet way of doing things in my head.

Normally I set up my node and set some variables like

$ip_address = 'blah'
$host_name = 'blah'

Then I might have individual resources for this node alone like

file :some_file { ...}

This along with the inheritance of other common roles defines the
state of the node.

I am wondering where that configuration takes place in the chef node.
From what you guys are saying it sounds like I need to create a role
for the server right?
