[chef] Re: Chef 12 and AWS AutoScaling

[Gabriel Rosendorf < >]

We're pushing autoscaling notifications to an SQS queue, and we have a process that reads those messages from the queue, looks for terminations, and uses the Chef API to delete nodes/clients. I think most folks are doing something similar.

Best,

Hello guys,

Just to know, how are you guys are dealing with Chef and AutoScaling?

I'm using hostname such as 'mordor' and I was trying to scale such as 'mordor1', and after 'mordor2' and etc, using the knife node create to 'reserve' this hostname while the machine is created.

It was working on Chef 11, but stopped now on Chef 12 :(

So, I would like to know how you guys are working with this -- best praticies and tips :)

Thanks!
