Cannot get updated ipaddress for EC2 instance started after stopped
I’m developing a recipe targeting to get the update IP address for an EC2 instance as it’s just started. To achieve this, I make chef-client a system service which located under /etc/init.d/chef-client (this is default when ec2 instance is bootstrapped) and assign the run_list to the node. However, as a result I found that node[‘ipaddress’] still gets its old address rather than the new one. The reason might because chef node retrieved the value from chef server directly which still have old value. And if I run chef-client on the node again, node[‘ipaddress’] can get the updated ip value. My question is 1. How to get updated ipaddress for the first time when the chef-client gets started as a system service. 2. If node[‘ipaddress’] get value from chef-server then how to get ip address from ohai run? I ask this because I observe that ohai always output correct value. 3. Is there any way to delay chef-client execution as a system service? Greatly appreciate your comments! |

How to add attributes per node?
I wan’t to setup virtual interfaces, but only on a host, so i wan’t to put somewhere something like this: As reading the documentation, there is no info (or i can’t find that), to do that. The first attempt, was to write with the config, but opposite than the feel of documentation made on me… it doesn’t work. Then i tried “knief node edit”, but i don’t want to set up each node this way, and want to save the node conf in the git chef-repo. The other way was to use data_bags, but the problem there is… why i wan’t attributes, if i have to load it all from data_bags. So I can’t find the way to set specific attribute to a single node. |
