Make a script  aws_init.sh on your dedicated server with admin AWS privileges

#! /bin/bash
set -e
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
aws s3 cp s3://keys/chef-client ~/.ssh/chef-client
mkdir -p ~/.chef/
aws s3 cp s3://keys/validation-prod.pem    ~/.chef
aws s3 cp s3://keys/validation-stag.pem    ~/.chef


Initialize the key by running:

eval "`aws s3 cp s3://keys/aws-access-keys.txt -`"
