How to check the whether elastic ip is already associated or not?

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi Chefellas!

I’ve the following aws resource in my recipe.

aws_elastic_ip “eip_product” do
aws_access_key aws[‘aws_access_key_id’]
aws_secret_access_key aws[‘aws_secret_access_key’]
ip eip
action :associate
end

But what I want is a conditional guard like only_if, not_if, etc…

So, if the elastic ip already attached, I don’t want to try it to reattach. Something like not_if { associated }

I looked inside the aws cookbook, but couldn’t find anything?

i think the resource is already idempotent.
