It's the one manual step I have to do. After I provision a server, I copy the IP and stick it in a few places (my fabfile, my hosts file that I then re-copy to every other machine, and my HAProxy config). While I do provision new servers regularly, I don't auto-scale, so I don't have a need for pure automation. It would be nice, but that's something I look into when I learn about new deployment procedures.
