    I started a thread in the Unix forum, but this is a slightly different question. One thing I mentioned is, I developed a script to automatically install, configure and run Jenkins. I'm curious to know, what other DevOps tools would be of use, to develop a script which would automatically install, configure and run?

    I ask, as I'm looking to build upon a repository of System Admin tools to automate as much as possible.

    Ansible might be an option, especially if you are deploying across a cluster. The basic Ansible has a low enough learning footprint and the writing of the installation / playbooks is flexible in terms of tasks at hand. However more advanced GUI Ansible , Tower/AWX, is still a tad unstable.

    A good idea to work on an Ansible install/deployment tool.

    You could add Terraform for configuration and Prometheus for monitoring to your list.

    Also have a look at Cubic for creating a customized Ubuntu iso:
