[chef] Chef AWS server with nodes in multiple regions

[Morgan Blackthorne < >]

Just wondering how others approach this situation. Elastic IPs aren't viable as we'll have nodes in autoscaling groups, etc.

One approach mentioned in #chef was to launch the EC2 nodes inside VPC, and then link the regions via VPC. We'd end up paying for that, but it's an option. Any others? I'm not sure I want to (on short notice) add VPC into the mix while I'm on a deadline, though. 

Does Chef support the concept of slave servers, where I could have a server host in each region with an ElasticIP that pulls from the master host?
