That makes sense thanks. I did have trouble figuring out where to start with ansible, do you have any advice about that?

You're welcome!

I'm still an ansible newbie myself. I first heard about it in this video; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7p9-m4cimg&pp=ygURV29sZmdhbmcgYW5zaWJsZSA%3D

Then I just figured out by googling and reading the docs / stack exchange.

I started by doing something simple, e.g. write an ansible playbook to update a raspberry pi on my network. Then went from there to launch a small VPS, googling each step that I'd normally do to configure a server, and run them all one after the other on ansible.
