Fabric is a remote task execution tool and is not very well suited for
configuration management, provisioning, and orchestration. You could probably
bend it for you use-case (for example by utilizing `boto` library), but you'll
end up writing a lot of code.
I'm not familiar with Ansible, but it seems to have the functionality you need:

Also, you can try SaltStack (and salt-cloud in particular):
