[chef] Re: chef-client auto-registered run_list

[Joshua Timberman < >]

The client is different than the node.

The client, which gets registered with the validation certificate is the 
thing that authenticates to the chef server API.

The node is what represents the configuration and information about a 
specific system in your infrastructure. 

Generally a node has its own client, but they are separate objects on the 
chef server.
