Hi,
I’d like to be able to bootstrap an arbitrary existing machine with a
chef-provisioning recipe (replacing knife bootstrap). I know I can used
’chef_node’ to set node attributes (but this wont do a bootstrap), and I
can use ‘machine’ with ‘converge_only’ to do convergence (but this requires
specifying a specific driver like vagrant or aws). Is there a way to do
what I want?
Regards,
Christine
I'm taking a stab here, but SSH with
GitHub - double-z/chef-metal-ssh: Provisioner for converging servers with Chef-Metal using ssh.?

Peter,
I'll try that - was really hoping for something that came with ChefDK.
I guess this isnt a mainstream scenario? It seemed natural to want to use
one approach for both pre-provisioned and to-be-provisioned machines.

We typically use knife bootstrap to work on our VMs but our AWS nodes
self-register at spinup time. Multiple methods aren't necessarily wrong.
