It's only one piece of the puzzle, but at my last company I wrote deploy_thing[1] for exactly this. An immutable config bundle and an immutable artifact tag combine to create a deploy that can be launched and put into production with an AWS auto-scaling group. Need to change a configuration, you burn down the auto-scaling group. This was a transitional step for us before moving to Mesos, but it's a good example, I think, of how to approach the problem from a minimum-viable level.

(I'm currently playing with moving it to OpenStack.)

The URL is throwing 404, probably due to it being private.

Would love to see it. I am working on something similar.

It looks like it was supposed to a hyphen, not an underscore:

Whoops, yeah. My bad, I switched from an underscore to a hyphen halfway through the project. It's still inconsistent, because we had a case of company-going-unders and I haven't needed it since.
