# if you ever want to start over from scratch you can destroy the instance by doing
knife ec2 delete i-xxxxxxx
# more work is needed for it to be integrated into knife
# ssh to the machine
ssh -i ~/.ssh/rtfd.pem ubuntu@$RTFDHOST
sudo su -
edit .ssh/authorized_keys
# remove section command="echo 'Please login as the ubuntu user rather than root user.';echo;sleep 10"
# so it starts with ssh-rsa
# This should be automated
# if fabric is not installed you will need to do a
pip install fabric
# install chef on the ec2 server
fab install_chef -H $RTFDHOST -i ~/.ssh/rtfd.pem
# sync the chef scripts to the server
# Make sure to have your key in ssh-agent for rsync to use
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/rtfd.pem
fab sync_config -H $RTFDHOST -i ~/.ssh/rtfd.pem
# sync and run chef on the ec2 instance
fab update -H $RTFDHOST -i ~/.ssh/rtfd.pem
