Find nodes within the same environment

[fernandohonig]

At the moment seems not possible to search for a tag within a specific environment. It just searches for a tag including all nodes on every environments.

I would recommend including your environment as a tag -- we wanted to avoid making this specific to chef search (i.e. we thought one day we could replace it with another service discovery mechanism which might not have access to the chef environment natively).

For example:

discovery 'my_cookbook_mysql_master' do
  tags ['mysql', 'master', node.chef_environment]
  action :search
end
