[chef] Re: ec2 attributes

[Peter Burkholder < >]

The node needs a 'hint' that it's in EC2. Namely this:

  mkdir -p /etc/chef/ohai/hints

  touch /etc/chef/ohai/hints/ec2.json

then run chef-client and ohai will find all ec2 facts.

Hi

I'm configuring an AWS auto scaling group in my infrastructure. Now, I am writing a script to install and configure chef-client in the ec2 instances launched automatically.

When I run the chef-client first time, it find my recipes and try to run them. Some of the recipes uses attributes from ec2 (e.g. node['ec2']['instance_id'] ). But this attribute does not exist in the instance. Some guy s in the irc channel told me to rerun ohai to reload the attributes. For this, I added the following code in the recipe:

But the problem persists. Is This what I should do?
