Bootstrap Fails With Knife Sudo Password Error

How to troubleshoot the bootstrap error when knife sudo fails

The IBM middleware cookbooks that are packages with Managed services (CAM) require a user with password-less sudo capabilities. For most templates, this user is root. However, if root is not available, then the operating system template that is used for deploy must include a user with the ability to use sudo without requiring a password.

If the deploy fails with this message, it means that the user did not have the ability to use sudo without requiring a password:
