[chef] Re: Approaches to automate execution of Knife command

[Marco Betti < >]

Hi,
we wrote (thanks to @astratto awsome job) knife-vcloud (that one based on vcloud-rest) in order to automate our private cloud.
We are currently using Rundeck to setup and manage different kind of wokflows that we use both directly on Rundeck and from a rails custom webapp that uses rundeck apis (still not ready for production).
I really suggest using Rundeck if you already haven't an alternative solution, it is a great tool, we are very satisfied.

Hi all,

I am using chef to provision a VM using Knife-Vcloud and i have several knife
commands to run as a sequence. I can write a Shell script to execute commands
in order but i would like to know is there a better way of automating running
of knife commands.
The requirement is as follows - When i run the 1st chef command, it provisions
a virtual machine. In my second knife command, i may use it as an input for the
command such as the IP address of the virtual machine generated in the 1st
command. Can anyone suggest a good way to do this ?
