We have been able to avoid node specific attributes in our
infrastructure. Attributes are all in roles or environments. Sometimes
we store the configuration for a particular application in a databag.
Then our recipes may read the databag (often based on the current
environment) and publish relevant attributes from the databag into the
node - but usually we only do this when we need to use these
attributes in searches from other nodes. So far ... this approach
seems to be working ok.
