[chef] Passing run_list to windows node which is to be bootstrapped.

[Taras Klym < >]

Hi guys,

I am doing some scripting for automatic servers creation on AWS side and bootstrapping it. 

Here are some parameters I compose for passing to bootstrap command:

$role='role[eu1],role[db],role[sx]'

$runlist = "$role,recipe[push-jobs],recipe[hello::ZabbixAgentInstUpd]"

$login = "Administrator"

$tag = $Env

And here is command by itself:

knife bootstrap windows winrm $ServerIP --auth-timeout 1 -N $computerNameTag --bootstrap-version "12.3.0" -r $runlist -x $login -P $DBServerPassword

I have just realized that after node is bootstrapped it doesn't have roles assigned.

So the main question is as follow:

Is passed "runlist" to node during bootstrap stays assigned to node after first chef-client run completed or it's just "runlist" for bootstrap?

And actually at the end node doesn't have any roles/recipes assigned to it which were passed during bootstrap?

Thank you all guys kin advance for your clarifications. 

Regards,

Taras.
