Hi friends, I’m back, this time jotting down some notes around my go-to way to provision VMs using Ansible. This post assumes Debian (Nix may be a future post).

Of course there’s many ways to provision a server, and this is just one of them. I hope some of these notes are helpful!

If you have any other ways you prefer to set up a server, that would be cool to share!

    Wait can you achieve the same as ansible with terraform?

      To provision VMs yes, to configure them I think Ansible works best. But you can call Ansible from Terraform.
