And Ansible is awesome.  Exactly what I was hoping for.  Everything is
configurable!  One example: you can pull code from version control and
specify exactly where it goes.  This means, for example, I can pull Drupal
8 from their repo with additional code from my internal server, and setup a
site with drupal at /var/www/drupal and a conf at
/etc/apache2/sites-available/drupal.conf

On top of that, Digital Ocean seems to be a pretty top notch hosting
service that is ansible-friendly.
- extensive and useful API
- 'Config scripts' that let you initialize machines on creation
- SSD disks, so I literally just created a machine in like 60 seconds.
