[chef] Re: Hosted chef not honoring passed environment?

[Darron Froese < >]

Tried again a few different times this weekend - same failures -
downloading the wrong version of the sudo cookbook and being assigned
to the wrong environment:

bundle exec knife rackspace server create -E lucid -S sudo2013 -f 2 -N
sudo2013 --image 112 -r 'recipe[sudo]' --distro ubuntu10.04-ruby187

https://gist.github.com/4527988
http://d.pr/i/rjBp

bundle exec knife bootstrap -E lucid -r "recipe[sudo]" 184.106.71.194
-x root -P not-so-fast --node-name bootstrap2013 --distro
ubuntu10.04-ruby187

https://gist.github.com/4528030
http://d.pr/i/DBDx

I also tried AWS:

bundle exec knife ec2 server create -E lucid -r "recipe[sudo]" -I
ami-ab36fbc2 -f m1.small -S dfroese -G varnish -x ubuntu --region
us-east-1 -Z us-east-1a --node-name aws2013 --distro
ubuntu10.04-ruby187

https://gist.github.com/4528155
http://d.pr/i/n6Pg

I expect to be able to create new servers and assign them to a
particular environment - is this correct?

Am I misunderstanding something or is something odd going on?
