      I know maybe many already know this, but I like it.

      So the plan is instead of cloud-init that is made for the cloud naturally if you have standalone KVM, you can install Ubuntu OS and keep it light and up-to-date, then shut it down and make clones + sysprep them and thats it. Also you can use it to install pkg or run command but it is not feature rich as much as cloud init

        I usually use virt-builder to build the image, and then I can clone from that. Then you have nice really small images to build from.

          Have you ever created your own repo using virt-builder-repository?

            No I've always pulled from upstream. I've honestly never looked into that before.
