It does have a public CNAME though.  If I go to the control panel and click 
on the instance  The instance info has.

Public DNS:ec2-54-218-44-44.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

So it is getting a host name and an IP address.  I am fully able to ssh into 
the machine and run "chef-client" manually, so it's not a problem of it not 
getting an IP address it's a problem of Chef not retaining that information.

Thanks
James
