Step 2: Generate Cloud VM (Hetzner, Netcup,...)

  • Install latest Ubuntu LTS
  • Set username / password
  • Write down information required for next steps:
    • VM IP, VM username, VM password

Step 3: Adjust DNS entries

  • Make sure the desired DNS entries point to the (new?) IP of the VM. (IPv4 + IPv6)
  • Verify from the local terminal that the DNS entry is pointing to the correct ip
nslookup {hostname}

Step 4: Set up VM with ansible
