[chef] Ohai EC2 hints/facts

[Morgan Blackthorne < >]

Is anyone using an ohai plugin that probes the AWS tags assigned to a given EC2 instance? ISTR that it's not something exposed in the base metadata URLs, but it would be handy for us. Basically, any EC2 node that is part of an ElasticBeanstalk has a tag set on the EC2 instance with the name of the ElasticBeanstalk application. Being able to add this information to our hoptoad error reports, and ideally to our syslog lines, would be very helpful rather than constantly needing to look up and match a generic EC2 hostname to a given service stack.

Thanks!
