[chef] spin up linux server in a vpc using knife

[Jeremy Winters < >]

I'm having trouble finding any info on this.

I need to spin up a server within a clients VPC using knife.

some characteristics:

- we have our own centos AMI 
- our spin up recipe refers to public gem and yum installs (I believe the 
internet gateway makes this possible, right?)
- we refer to s3 buckets for binary installers (again... internet gateway?)

I'm using chef 0.10. 

is there anything I should be aware of in the VPC configuration that will 
enable/prevent my ability to spin this up?  I'm assuming that if the VPC is 
setup correctly I should be able to use knife ec2 server create the same way 
I normally do, with the addition of the subnet id parameter.

any advice is appreciated.

thanks in advance!
