     9  # chef_node
    10  
    11  A [node](http://docs.chef.io/nodes.html) is a computer whose
    12  configuration is managed by Chef.
    13  
    14  Although this resource allows a node to be registered, it does not actually
    15  configure the computer in question to interact with Chef. In most cases it
    16  is better to use [the `chef` provisioner](/docs/provisioners/chef.html) to
    17  configure the Chef client on a computer and have it register itself with the
    18  Chef server.
    19  
    20  ## Example Usage
    21  
    22  ```hcl
    23  resource "chef_node" "example" {
    24    name             = "example-environment"
    25    environment_name = "${chef_environment.example.name}"
    26    run_list         = ["recipe[example]", "role[app_server]"]
    27  }
    28  ```
    29
