[chef] Re: Re: Creating attributes that are tied to Environment and Roles

[Zuhaib Siddique < >]

S,

Yeah I was looking at that but it has a few problems, its an environment 
settings so it applies to all attributes.   So example I have a role named 
Server1 that needs to be added to ELB1 and then I have Server2 that needs to 
be added to ELB2.  I cant do that if the attribute for the env is 
AWS:ELB:NAME: ELB1.
