It started out with OS customization using Ansible, but we quickly ran into the issue of bootstrapping the network configuration. We were cloning a minimally configured RHEL 7 template to deploy new machines, but we would have to manually login through the remote console to set the IP and also change the VLAN in the admin console. However, we were on a mission <del>from God</del> to touch the machines as little as possible in the name of real automation, so even that small amount of manual intervention galled us.</p>
