Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've seen, out-of-the-box bootstrap-vz offers a level of customization that can only be achieved by VM/Debian installer if you combine them with an orchestration tool (i.e. Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc.). > You use the field tested debian installer and avoid a whole class of > bugs like this: https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/issues/245 I didn't understood this right.
