Chef Server 12 installing Chef Client 11

  • 772

I have a master machine I just upgraded from Chef 11 to Chef 12, but when I go to create a new EC2 node it want to install client 11.18 instead of 12.01 or 12.03. I'm not sure if that's causing the client to bomb or not (hits a 403 trying to create the client node on master) but it can't be helping.

Does anyone know where I can tell master what version of client to install?

amazon-ec2

    You can specify the version of chef client to install through the the --bootstrap-version option of knife ec2 server create. It is your workstation that specifies, which version to install during bootstrap.

    The version running on your chef server does not matter.
