Hey sorry if this has been asked but i didn't see much in the history to aid me.
I'm having trouble understanding what really is the difference between ansible-remote and ansible-local as provisioners to build an AMI within AWS. We typically use ansible in its standard setup with SSH on our other projects for general CM/ad-hoc tasks run. I understand that ansible-local will copy the playbook to the remote node/ami instance i am building and run. I understand that ansible-remote will do the same/similar over SSH but i am not getting why i would choose one method over the other? What are the pro/cons with either approach and why would i choose one over the other? As i wish to use playbooks using our standard config management and not just when building an AMI, i was thinking remote was the way to go but a lot seem to be using ansible-local which i have just tested and works fine. I understand there maybe slight differences to the playbooks written for each method and would prefer to stick with one method for both workloads.
