OpsWorks: How to set up a chef environment?

Question

Using AWS OpsWorks , how would you set up an environment (production, production, etc.) that will be applied to an attribute , and then cookbooks can read this attribute? (I think this can be done using custom JSON, right?) node.chef_environment

I came across this link , but still don't know how to do it.

With Vagrant, I can install it in a Vagrantfile as follows:

config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
  ...
  chef.environment = "local"
  ...
end

Thanks.

UPDATE:

I decided to solve the problem by writing my_environment_cookbookthat only has this code in my default recipe:

if node[:chef_environment] != nil
  node.chef_environment = node[:chef_environment]
end

And in the custom JSON of the OpsWorks stack, I had something like this:

{
  "chef_environment": "staging"
}

my_environment_cookbook , , node.chef_environment.
