I also think that rebuilding from scratch is way better than some idemponent CM solution. I work at small scale - just need to have some services working on a vps and also manage my linux box. This is why I think that docker will be a great solution to me. Spinning lxc container from existing image is really fast - I have made some tests recently. Now I'm setting up a system where I will have portable containers for specific tasks - a nodejs container for a webapp, a postgres db, tor machine for anonymous work, etc. All of them will be built using Ansible and versioned using git. Then I can put them all on a vps and redeploy independently and just use one machine.
