I'd disagree here. The idea that shouldn't need to install anything to manage the remote OS is very important to Ansible, and if you start building images with Ansible on it, you've lost some of the advantages, and also the ability to centrally manage multiple machines at once.
There's a reason so many people using Vagrant go the Ansible route -- not having to worry about the images is a large part of that. That being said, if you're running ansible-pull in prod, that WOULD actually be closer. (Not many people do) I'd recommend still running things from the host.
