Provisioner policyfile_nodes extends policyfile_zero by adding one more step in the end of converge - it downloads the resulted node JSON object to the nodes_path on the host machine after successful converge. It allows you to use this node object for searches while converging another Test Kitchen suites. So, you can use actual node attributes like ipaddress/fqdn to communicate nodes with each other.

For example, 'web' node need to search 'db' node ip. In policyfile_zero we have to create mock in node_path for this search. policyfile_nodes will create mock automatically.
