knife bootstrap
knife bootstrap
A node is any physical, virtual, or cloud machine that is configured to be maintained by a chef-client. A bootstrap is a process that installs the chef-client on a target system so that it can run as a chef-client and communicate with a Chef server. There are two ways to do this:
- Use the
knife bootstrapsubcommand to bootstrap a node using the omnibus installer - Use an unattended install to bootstrap a node from itself, without using SSH or WinRM
Use the knife bootstrap subcommand to run a bootstrap operation that installs the chef-client on the target system. The bootstrap operation must specify the IP address or FQDN of the target system.
