I am curious what other people use to automate the deployment and provisioning of new hosts. In other words, what tools are you using to launch a new server (dedicated, vps, cloud), provision it with the services and applications that you need, add it to the proxy rotation and DNS, and then update it or remove it when needed?
Currently I am using fabric scripts and Jenkins. I have been looking at Ansible (http://www.ansible.com/) and Terraform ( https://www.terraform.io/) to take my automation to a higher level. I have in the past used AWS and many of their services. They have good stuff, but they are pricey. What are you using?
