You need packer.

Packer is a tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration. "Packer is a modern tool that embraces best benefits. It's completely automated, simply run a a packer build, no human touches it, packer builds it for you. " - Mitchell Hashimoto (Creator)

We build AMI images via packer template and it is really good and simplify the whole processes.

If you need know more about packer and how it works, please refer: http://packer.io

If you need a quick start from samples, you can go through this github repo:
