To do anything useful, you'd have to give it sudoer privs - this is true.

If you're squeamish about that, on principle, then Salt, Chef, and Puppet would be problematic as well. The only logical choice would be to provision and bake all of your images and push the AMI up to AWS...in which case Ansible would be an excellent utility anyway.
