Bootstrapping the enviornment

[Tom Barber]

Thanks for that tip, I tried similar with MAAS not to long ago and gave up
after a while and reverted back to manual mode as it just made life easier.

Anything to make life easier running outside of EC2 etc but virtualized is
great because we don't want 1 box per service so deploying to kvm docker or
whatever makes life a lot more cost effective and efficient for us. I know
from speaking to Samuel there is a bunch of work going on around this, the
more the better!

Regards,

Tom
