Spending all evening making a new template and deploying basic assets in my lab. Not nearly so productive as I hopped.
That's the nice thing about libvirt. If you forget something just run virt-customize later and install something or edit something with virt-edit (or guestfish).
It's XenServer, and I hadn't even setup a base CentOS image for it yet. Got the template made tho, so every "new" machine will only take a minute (or less) to deploy. It's always the specific service being setup that takes all the time.
That would be a good project for me to work on

That's why you set up Salt / Ansible or some other CM system to make it painless.
Yeah, I'll be getting around to that, probably Salt to start with. I've tried Ansible in the past, but never really put the time in with it that's needed.

Very, very good. Ansible is definitely the one with the more momentum.

Looking between the two of them, the salt config files make more sense to me, but I have not worked with Ansible any yet.

Ansible + Tower looks downright amazing, at least without having used them yet. What I've seen of the Salt config files so far, which is what @scottalanmiller has posted here, do look easier to read.

I prefer Salt myself, but lots of people prefer Ansible. Both are very good.
