On each commit to master, CI should:

• Validate Packer templates.
• Validate CF templates.

For each new tag, CI should:

• Build new images for release to the AWS Marketplace.
• Deploy a new cluster via CloudFormation with the new images.
• Run a few smoke tests.
• Delete the cluster and clean up artifacts.

An AWS Lambda function that takes snapshots of the data and meta node volumes would be a nice option to add to the templates.

It could even be a separate stack that consumes the output of the main template.
