Just wondering how the backend of Forge works. I understand Forge is built ontop of Laravel but how are new servers created and configured. Are Chef recipies, and AMI's used with simple AWS API calls or does Forge connect to the EC2 instances via an SSH connection and step by step feed the relevant commands and settings files and interrogate the responses.
