Yes I think your idea sounds very convenient, I basically just want to type the IPs of my machines in somewhere and the rest should be explained to me on screen. If SSH cant be established, tell me why. If i didnt set up ipxbe properly or at all, tell me why (heck, even tell me how you got that information ala 'we tried establishing an ssh connection with ssh@184.4882.1 -v but it resulted in this error log: '. Any other connection problems, tell me why. Generate all the SSL certs automatically, I dont want to type in any commands myself. I dont care if it's a test SSL setup but frankly I dont understand why these tutorials always give me test SSL certs. Just generate something that makes sense for production or tell me what I need and why for production.
If you think that my nodes should have DNS names, go start some internal DNS server for me and set it up in the background for me. I dont get why I should have to do any of that stuff myself.
At the end there should be a screen where all the configs were saved down to in a textual format, so I can have a look at what was done, which processes were started and which ports are now open, what the firewall looks like. For example CoreOS I believe has some cloudconfig stuff and I dont want to figure that file format out myself but I still want to see it after it's been generated.
I like magic but I also like to see what it actually did / is doing. |

in the "boot up first box" scenario you should be able to enter all subnets you allocate to the cloud like "my wan range is 15.26.37.0/24, router at .1" And "for the host management network i want you to use 10.67.0.0/16 with router at 10.67.0.1" from there on you should be able to plug in and boot up machines. Just be careful to not plug in a laptop that boots from the network :P
Basically my philosophy is sane defaults, some magic where i know i wouldn't want to care, and introspection everywhere.
