问题
The workflow automation tool rundeck sources structured text files to create its inventory of nodes. But if you use chef as your source of truth of your server/node inventory, its undesirable to have to create these flat files just for rundeck to reference. How can rundeck obtain this information dynamically from a chef server?
回答1:
chef-rundeck is a sinatra app (ruby) that interfaces with a chef server and exposes the node inventory data through a REST API in XML format.
https://github.com/oswaldlabs/chef-rundeck
I run it under supervisord for easy management of the process, management of log files, etc.

You can also try updating the attributes of the nodes in chef via ohai.
Then from rundeck you can simply have a script to pull the attributes to rundeck where the chef tags can also be reciprocated to rundeck node tags
