Chef workflow

after setting up a new cookbook (just create /copy the files into the cookbooks dir)
knife cookbook upload <COOKBOOK_NAME>

setting up roles - create new json file in /roles using others as template
then "knife role from fole <FILENAME>

test by creating a new ec2 instance with the appropriate role (or use vagrant)

to get rid of an ec2:

knife ec2 server delete <ID>
knife node delete <ID>
and 
knife client delete <ID>
