Register a Node on the Infra Server

Register a Node on the Infra Server

Idempotently register a node with the Chef Infra Server.

1. List the organization's nodes so the workflow can tell a new registration from a node that is already under management.
2. Create the node object with its environment, run list, and normal attributes. The Infra Server rejects a duplicate node name with a 409, which keeps the registration idempotent.
3. Read the node back by name to confirm the Infra Server persisted the environment and run list exactly as they were sent.

What you'll need to have ready

• nodeName: The unique node name to register (e.g. web-01.example.com).
• chefEnvironment: The Chef environment to place the node in (e.g. production).
• runList: The ordered run list for the node (e.g. ["role[base]", "recipe[nginx]"]).
• normalAttributes: Normal-precedence attributes to set on the node object.
