Ansible is a little heavyweight for what you want, but if you wrap it in a script and only use the built-in modules, it's probably got everything you need.

Here's the wrapper script:

  ansible-playbook -i localhost, --connection=local playbook.yml "$@"

You run the script with "-CD" for dry run mode, and without arguments for production mode. And here's the docs for the available modules [0].
