you can reuse knife bootstrap as a build tool. to create golden images. knife commands are easy to use from scripts[1].

then you can have service specific golden images (web, db, ldap, nagios etc).

you have to clean up chef configs post build (cert, client.r, etc),

Have you tried using “knife bootstrap” to install chef-client on already created VMs? It should install chef-client on those machines with required configuration.

how you provision the vms? I used to bake in chef installers  in vmware machine templates, and weekly refresh them (change the validation cert).
