%w{ aws environment }.each do |path|
  directory "#{node["knewton"]["conf_dir"]}/#{path}" do
    recursive true
    owner "root"
    group "root"
    mode "0755"

billing_account = node["sedeploy"]["application"]["account"]
bag_metadata    = node["cassandra"]["priam"]["encrypted_databag"]
account_iam_map = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load(
    bag_metadata["bag_name"], bag_metadata["bag_item"],
    )[billing_account]

    pp iam_yaml

cookbook_file "#{node["knewton"]["conf_dir"]}/aws/stack_iam.yml" do
  content iam_yaml
  source "empty"
  owner "root"
  group "root"
  mode "0644"
end

cookbook_file "/etc/knewton/configuration/environment/platform.yml" do
  content ::YAML::dump(node["sedeploy"]["default_attributes"]["platform_environment"])
  source "empty"
  owner "root"
  group "root"
  mode "0644"
end

I started using remote_file, but it wants an actual URL in spite of the use case of overriding the content.
