I have a couple of Ansible playbooks under development to do this -- but it's a very specific topology that may not work for you. If you are interested, I could post them when they are done.

Are the contents of the link so very pixelated that you are unable to follow along without PNG conversion? If yes, may I recommend a quick trip to your local optometrist?

Or not, because the next best alternative is much more expensive than SpaceX's current pricing. We're dealing with a corporation -- I'm not sure we can count of them to "pass on the savings".

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. I live in the Gulf right now, and hang out with investment professionals occasionally. The prevailing opinion appears to be that local investors are shrewd at a tactical level, but terrible a
