# chef\_node
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A [node](http://docs.chef.io/nodes.html) is a computer whose
|
||
|
|
configuration is managed by Chef.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although this resource allows a node to be registered, it does not actually
|
||
|
|
configure the computer in question to interact with Chef. In most cases it
|
||
|
|
is better to use [the `chef` provisioner](/docs/provisioners/chef.html) to
|
||
|
|
configure the Chef client on a computer and have it register itself with the
|
||
|
|
Chef server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
resource "chef_node" "example" {
|
||
|
|
name = "example-environment"
|
||
|
|
environment_name = "${chef_environment.example.name}"
|
||
|
|
run_list = ["recipe[example]", "role[app_server]"]
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
