Chef-provisioning + EBS/EIP

I’m digging into Chef Provisioning, but I’m having a hard time figuring out
how to use AWS features like elastic storage and IP addresses. Has anyone
done this or am I barking up the wrong tree here?

That's not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm trying to use
GitHub - chef-boneyard/chef-provisioning: A library for creating machines and infrastructures idempotently in Chef.. It works, but doesn't seem to
support EBS and EIP creation.

You want to use the aws provider from
GitHub - chef-boneyard/chef-provisioning-aws: AWS driver and resources for Chef that uses the AWS SDK.

Yes, I found the aws provider, and while there is support for creating EBS
volumes and EIPs in there, there does not appear to be any means for
assigning them to instances created using the machine resource, unless I'm
missing something.

I have recently done some work in this. To get additional volumes created
you will have to define block_device_mappings in the bootstrap_options key
of the machine_options like so.

machine 'name' do
machine_options(
bootstrap_options: {
block_device_mapping: [
{ 'DeviceName' => '/dev/sda1', 'VirtualName' => '/dev/sda1',
'Ebs.VolumeSize' => 30 }
]
}
)
end

As for the EIP, I haven't had to get one of those assigned as of yet. Hope
that helps!

Thanks,

Also, for additional volumes from a snapshot add the Ebs.SnapshotId key if
it is based on a snapshot.
