For provisioning, Packer + Ansible seems like a great combination. I used both recently to setup a Discourse site and associated Postfix mail server. Packer spins up the machines and then calls Ansible to handle the actual provisioning. Once that’s done, Packer takes a snapshot of each machine, so you end up with images that are ready for deployment with, e.g., Terraform. Granted, this was just a toy project for me to try these tools out, so any advice would be appreciated!
