I know that it’s now possible to add a AWS tag when starting an instance with knife ec2 server create using -T or --tags, but I’m looking for the ability to add a tag to the chef node at the time of server creation. Does such ability exist right now with knife-ec2 (doesn’t appear so when I was reading the help document)? Should I create a ticket for it on tickets.ospcode.com?
Nuo,
I am not really following you question.... I mean when you run the
command "knife ec2 server create....." w/ the -T parameter you are creating
an instance and tagging it. So what else is it that you are looking to
accomplish here?

-T adds AWS tags, Chef also has tags for its nodes.
The answer (in case anybody else has similar need), --json-attributes
"{"tags":["TAG_NAME"]}" would allow adding chef tags (or any
other arbitrary attributes) to the node.
