Hi Alvaro, Thanks for the reply.
Packer.io is a great tool, but I think it's not the suitable one for me here. According to my understanding, what it does is to create a bunch of same machine image for different platform (virtualbox, aws etc.) from a single configuration. But what I need here is to pack up local image and deploy it on aws, so there is no configuration here. All I have is a local running environment. You mentioned "you just spin a new AWS box and put the code on top" but I don't get it. How can I move my environment (like installed packages etc.) to that aws box? Could you please elaborate on it a little bit?
