While learning ansible is great, it’s easy enough just to put your configuration in cloud-init.

I don’t think there is a VPS provider that doesn’t use it.

Why is cloud-init so hard to find? You just made me learn about it, and it seems like the obvious thing to use for VPS initialization.

Shouldn't the hosting provider have pointed me to it from the start? So weird!

What about post init? Ansible can be run regularly for maintenance patching too.
