Got it and thanks Brad.

We'll separate the software installation and operation as you suggested.

And can you provide some samples about the built-in chef discovery method? We are interested in that. 

Thanks a lot.

The installation of the software should be kept separate from the operation of what is installed.

At installation time, it shouldn’t matter what the other servers are.  You’re just installing software.

At operation time, each server should use the built-in chef discovery methods to find out what its servers are for the appropriate type — who is my JBoss server, who is/are my database server(s), etc….
