OpsWorks for Chef Automate and Chef validator-key

I'd like to know if it is possible to retrieve a chef validator-key from OpsWorks for Chef Automate? The aws documentation that I could find only describes steps to register an instance with the OpsWorks chef server using AWS cli or chef knife. I want to avoid installing the aws cli utilities on non AWS instances.

You can retrieve the key (Chef Server never stores the private half of keys for security) but you should be able to reset the key or create a new validator client using knife client commands. The only thing special about the validator client is it has create permissions on the client container (which you can set up using knife-acl).
