[chef] Re: What is the trigger in the UI in order to know when a node from an ami in complete when launched using knife?

[Noah Kantrowitz < >]

Why use knife instead of boto and fabric? You could monitor ohai_time in the 
node attributes, that is just the timestamp of the last chef run, but using 
boto to do the launch and then watch the instance status and then fabric to 
check SSH might be easier in the long run.
