Ansible is more like this:

Combining puppet and chef in one item. Then making it so you can run the 
entire tool w/o having to first setup the config mgmt system on the node 
and not requiring any sort of central server.

So - ansible is those things and it doesn't make install a giant ruby blob 
on a system.

I doubt it. It's easier to simply use the euca2ools w/the ec2 api against 
openstack/cloudstack/euca/etc. Or if need be write an ostack_create to use 
nova.

I'm not interested in supporting the whole world of clouds with this - we 
only have euca and openstack setup - nothing else.
