The -i argument for chef-client isn’t for a pem key; it’s for the
interval at which chef-client is to re-run. Also, chef-client runs
locally, so no ssh key is needed. If you remove that part of your command,
you should be good.

ameir, Thank you for your answer.
My knowledge of Chef Client Local Mode is little.
I’m OK about a pem key don’t need for the local mode.
Thank you so much.
