[chef] Is the sleep routine necessary when using aws_ebs_volume?

[Greg Barker < >]

I came across this blog post: http://clarkdave.net/2013/04/managing-ebs-volumes-with-chef/

After using the aws_ebs_volume LWRP there's a ruby_block to do a sleep loop until the device is ready. Is that a necessary step? If so, any reason not have it baked into the aws cookbook?

Thanks!
