[chef] Re: Re: Add tag to chef node on knife ec2 server create

-T adds AWS tags, Chef also has tags for its nodes.

The answer (in case anybody else has similar need), --json-attributes "{\"tags\":[\"TAG_NAME\"]}" would allow adding chef tags (or any other arbitrary attributes) to the node.

Nuo,

  I am not really following you question....  I mean when you run the command "knife ec2 server create....." w/ the -T parameter you are creating an instance and tagging it.  So what else is it that you are looking to accomplish here?

I know that it's now possible to add a AWS tag when starting an instance with knife ec2 server create using -T or --tags, but I'm looking for the ability to add a tag to the chef node at the time of server creation. Does such ability exist right now with knife-ec2 (doesn't appear so when I was reading the help document)? Should I create a ticket for it on tickets.ospcode.com?
