Vagrant, Ansible. I'm slowly reducing our scattered flock of precious little snowflake servers to nice, boring, version controlled configs. Being able to sleep for 8 hours every night is glorious; I will never take that for granted, for the rest of my life.
First I SSH into local VMs to prototype a minimal cluster. Then once I'm done making mistakes, I write out the playbook. Spin up some EC2s, add them to the inventory, and deploy.
Reading through a Git history of playbook changes beats the hell out of searching for an email thread from a sysadmin who no longer works with us. I guess Git is the real hero here, I keep forgetting that there was a time before git. Those were dark times.
