Knife server create

Chef Infra (archive)
1

I’m attempting to write some wrappers around knife server create. (ideally knife rackspace knife ec2 and knife openstack).

My question is, is the output from knife server create stdout? Stderr? Is there a way to change it?

Would you be able to use 'knife exec’ ? This eliminates parsing issues because you are manipulating Chef objects themselves.

For Cloudstack we're using the following gem which allows us to call a
special knife command to create a VM and then bootstrap it with Chef
all in one take. I think this is the best approach to take when adding
functionality to knife.
