Questions about kitchen-ec2

[Terry E]

I'm trying to create a .kitchen.yml to test some infrastructure in ec2.  As part of this, I need to create an ELB and some surrounding AWS resources.  My first thought is to write a wrapper script around test-kitchen that creates the AWS resources, runs test-kitchen then deletes the resources.   This could be a shell script running the AWS cli, or I could use python libraries like boto or troposphere.  

I'm hoping someone can point me to something more robust.  Does anything like this exist?

Thank you,
