Knife job and knife node status return 404

Chef Infra (archive)

I’ve deployed OpsWorks with Chef Automate and connected some nodes. I can get the node list, but some commands are not working. I’ll give you some examples: push jobs and status.

$ knife job start 'chef-client' --search 'recipe:awesome_customers_delivery'

However, knife ssh -x ubuntu 'recipe:awesome_customers_delivery' 'sudo chef-client' works just fine.

Why would these commands not work? Is there a way I can debug the scenario?

OpsWorks instances do not include the push jobs server. If you are interested in using Automate’s workflow feature, we recommend to use the new runners feature instead. If you need to use push jobs to force converges on infrastructure nodes (either as part of Automate workflow or not), you will need to install push jobs yourself. The procedure is documented here: https://docs.chef.io/aws_opsworks_chef_automate.html

Thanks! It might be nice to update some of the tutorials, like this one to reference using runners instead of push jobs.
