I use Ansible for all configuration management. Boxes that belong to ASGs use Ansible to create a pre-baked AMI, while the rest are just handled with Ansible on a case-by-case basis.

Are you using the Aminator or Packer Ansible provisioners, or do you have another technique for building those AMIs?

Right now I'm just using an ansible playbook to provision the box, create the AMI, and destroy the box within a playbook.

In the near future I plan on moving to Packer since it's the perfect tool for the job.
