[chef] How to check the whether elastic ip is already associated or not?

[Sachin Sagar Rai < >]

Hi Chefellas!

I've the following aws resource in my recipe.

  aws_elastic_ip "eip_product" do

    aws_access_key aws['aws_access_key_id']

    aws_secret_access_key aws['aws_secret_access_key']

    ip eip

    action :associate

  end

But what I want is a conditional guard like only_if, not_if, etc...

So, if the elastic ip already attached, I don't want to try it to reattach. Something like `not_if { associated }` 

I looked inside the aws cookbook, but couldn't find anything?
