[chef] AWS CloudFormation + Chef

[Michael Leikind < >]

Hi All,

I have started to learn about the new AWS tool called CloudFormation.
All seems good and pretty working, however some points are still unclear, 
here is the one for instance:
- while I see a lot of examples which make use of Chef-Solo (or download 
cookbook from Chef server) to bootstrap the instance as part of launching the 
new "Stack" from AWS console ,
I wonder if its possible to use it opposite way: bootstrap the instance of an 
appropriate "Role" and, as the role dependency, launch the CloudFormation 
Stack (or a relevant part of it, say for security group or/and the keys ) via 
Chef, using knife or similar.
... Assuming there should be a Chef helper to interact with AWS 
CloudFormation API
Does anyone have such usage example ?
