Fast initialization of Debian VM using Ansible

Virtual machine deployment in Proxmox can be achieved faster by creating virtual machine template with desired settings and then cloning this machine. This new virtual machine requires some changes after cloning so to speed-up this process Ansible can be used. Example how to do this will be shown in this article.

Software used: Proxmox 8, Debian 12 cloud image, Ansible 2.14.3
