Steve,
Thanks - very interesting idea. I'll check this out.

Hi Randy,
You may want to use a layer like Vagrant to simplify this initial
setup. I use the vagrant-digitalocean plugin which interacts with the
DO API to create droplets and returns ip info for the droplets (even
sets up private(ish) IPs) - you can then run Ansible from within or
outside Vagrant and ideally interact with something to track the
IPs/hosts (HostDB maybe, or just a bastion host). You also get the
sideeffect of being able to provision the same config against VBox,
VMware from the same interface for testing/offline dev purposes.

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...
