Customers have expressed a desire to use the state of a node as part of control flow. EG, if the node is a Windows machine perhaps they use that information to kick off a second chef-run execution.
Describe the Need:
Return the node data (the node.json that gets sent to the Chef Server) to the workstation after completing the chef-run execution.
Current Alternative
Querying this with knife. Manually looking it up on the Chef Server, EG via knife search.
Neither of these options work in a non-Chef-Server environment, thus the desire to return this information from chef-run
Questions
What would the UX for this look like?
Could we coordinate returning this information as part of Copy chef-client run output to host #135? Perhaps they end up in a shared folder, or part of a shared zip?
