Why Ansible rather than Elastic Beanstalk or Cloud Formation?

It's vendor-agnostic? And CF is super slow and limited to a small number of resources (not sure if it's a 100 or a 1000).

Definitely 100. And every little thing is a resource.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuid... Am I a missing something? Nothing in these docs about a 100 resource limit

It used to be 100. Looks like it's 200 now.

That's 200 resources per CF template. That's a massive CF template :)
