Hi Chris, There is no general best practice available as it heavily depends on the use case/ support requirements and other factors. For example, I start with a minimum installation and then I use Ansible to apply my personal/ company flavor (tools/ configuration/ ...). The result is a core VM that is the starting point for the application deployment. Depending on the size of the installation and skills of the support team, you can use devops processes for the applications as well, for example installing prerequisites or even the application itself.
