There is already a digital ocean provisioning module in core BTW. -- Michael

I use the vagrant-digitalocean plugin which interacts with the DO API to create droplets and returns ip info for the droplets (even sets up private(ish) IPs) - you can then run Ansible from within or outside Vagrant and ideally interact with something to track the IPs/hosts (HostDB maybe, or just a bastion host). You also get the sideeffect of being able to provision the same config against VBox, VMware from the same interface for testing/offline dev purposes.
