Decommission a Node
with Chef
Archive and remove a retired node from the Chef Infra Server.
- Read the node one last time so its environment, run list, and attributes can be archived before the object is destroyed.
- Delete the node object from the organization. The Infra Server returns the deleted node document in the response body.
- Relist the organization's nodes and assert the retired name is no longer present, closing the loop on the decommission.
What you'll need to have ready
- nodeName: The node being retired (e.g. web-01.example.com).
