https://cloud-init.io/
Cloud init is a tool that can be installed on a server. It runs at boot time and handles configuration of the server. It's primarily designed for use in cloud environments, where the cloud providers have a location accessible to that server only, that provides the server with details like network configuration, or the ssh-key that the user wants to use for protecting logins. That allows a standardised installation to be passed out to all users, without relying on some default password, for example, or without it knowing all about network topology.
