Personally, I find it loads simpler to use Packer + Terraform, and boot new machines when I have to re-spin the Packer image. Some of the Terraform modules maintained by the cloud providers can reduce the amount of boilerplate you have to write by quite a bit. It’s still non-zero configuration required, but IMO it is easier to understand and manage than piles of YAML.
