[chef] Re: aws and chef do not play nice

[David Montgomery < >]

Just as bad..I take out the recipe out of the run list then after I boot then I place the recipe back and run again.  Then it works.  Why?

Why oh why will this not work?  Even worse...I am ignore_failure true.   I included the aws recipe in the run list.




directory "/etc/chef/ohai/hints" do
  owner "root"
  group "root"
  recursive true
  action :create
end

file "/etc/chef/ohai/hints/ec2.json" do
  owner "root"
  group "root"
  action :create
end

aws_resource_tag node['ec2']['instance_id'] do
  aws_access_key aws['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID']
  aws_secret_access_key aws['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
  tags({"Name" => "#{node.name}",
        "node_name" => "#{node.name}",
        "environment" => node.chef_environment})
  action :update
  ignore_failure true
end

I included the aws recipe and yet aws_resource_tag node does not work.
