did you reuse the client certificate of the old node? or re register it using the validation cert? and keep the node name same

I lost an EC2 instance over the weekend.  Is there a proper method to replace it?

In the past, when I simply delete a client from chef, and bootstrap a client using the same node name, it registers itself, but wipes out the node run_list and attribute data.

Is there a way to bring up a new instance and assign it to be XYZ node and inherit the run_list & attributes?
