Well done!

I do have a question about SSH access to the newly created VM from a template.
For example, in the AWS EC2 launch; the user gets an option to use an existing key pair or create a new pair. In the latter case, you then download and save the “private” (.pem) file.

Likewise, it should be possible to install the RSA public key via a ‘cloudinit’ directive when the VM instance is created.
‘https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/0.7.8/topics’/examples.html?highlight=Configure%20instances%20ssh-keys

It would be helpful to highlight both these methods in this article.
