    There is a detailed explanation on how to use Chef-Solo in AWS environment in Integrating AWS CloudFormation With Opscode Chef.pdf

    Chef Solo can be used to deploy Chef cookbooks and roles without a
    dependency on a Chef Server. Chef Solo can be installed via a Ruby
    Gem package; however, it requires a number of other dependent
    packages to be installed. By using resource metadata and the AWS
    CloudFormation helpers, you can deploy Chef Solo on a base AMI via
    Cloud-init.

    You can either use the cloud formation that is provided in the PDF above, or you can create the files and run the script (that are embedded in this template) yourself.
