agent software on those nodes.
You can use the following methods to add nodes:
-
Add notes individually by running a
knife
command that adds, or bootstraps, an EC2 instance so that the Chef server can manage it. For more information see Add nodes individually. -
Add nodes automatically by using a script to perform unattended association of nodes with the Chef server. The code in the Starter Kit shows how to add nodes automatically using the unattended method. For more information see, Add nodes automatically in AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate.
