Wow. Thanks Tobias!!
This is a lot of great stuff.
This is a small outfit, with one full time dev. So my questions are going
to be along the lines of, "Should they use snapshots, AMIs or just Git to
provision servers for the load balancer?" and, "Is it worth teaching them
how to use a new deployment model, rather than adapting the one they're
already comfortable with?" etc.
Right now they're not using any deployment tools, other than git.
Is it worth me getting them to use ansible or puppet, etc, or can they get
by using a simpler, Git-based workflow?

This is more than you asked about, but it will setup all the things you
mentioned (and then some) in a VPC and give you an environment for
running
containers (I recommend the Elastic Beanstalk option):

Even if you don't end up using it, you might find it helpful to set up a
test environment and play around with the resources it creates. If you do
so under a brand new AWS account and select all the smallest server
options, that should keep you inside the free tier, too.
