I have adopted an approach of having a separate bootstrap phase which sets up SSH on a non standard port, adds core accounts, some other tasks, and finally reboots the compute instance.

I am using this with Digital Ocean. When I create a compute instance they send me an email with the IP address and root password.

My current approach is not scalable as I can only run the bootstrap for a single compute instance at a time, as you can see from the script file I have "--ask-pass", which requires me to enter the provided root password at run time.

Is it possible to have a hosts file with the following:

[bootstrap]
107.170.2.181 hostname=memsql01 password=llfdkjsd9837
124.221.33.181 hostname=memsql02 password=99irekfiewl

and have the provided password used for the paramiko connection during this phase?

Thank you...
