Associate Node

opsworkscm_associate_node R Documentation

Associates a new node with the server

Description

Associates a new node with the server. For more information about how to disassociate a node, see disassociate_node.

On a Chef server: This command is an alternative to ⁠knife bootstrap⁠.

Example (Chef): ⁠aws opsworks-cm associate-node --server-name MyServer --node-name MyManagedNode --engine-attributes "Name=CHEF_ORGANIZATION,Value=default" "Name=CHEF_NODE_PUBLIC_KEY,Value=public-key-pem"⁠

On a Puppet server, this command is an alternative to the ⁠puppet cert sign⁠ command that signs a Puppet node CSR.

Example (Puppet): ⁠aws opsworks-cm associate-node --server-name MyServer --node-name MyManagedNode --engine-attributes "Name=PUPPET_NODE_CSR,Value=csr-pem"⁠

A node can can only be associated with servers that are in a HEALTHY state. Otherwise, an InvalidStateException is thrown. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are not valid. The AssociateNode API call can be integrated into Auto Scaling configurations, AWS Cloudformation templates, or the user data of a server's instance.
