Yes indeed, I think ansible is best when used to manage machines of similar
kind. If you want to keep your notebooks to same package and config level
it could be of advantage to write a simple ansible playbook to upgrade and
configure.

My experience is from a LXD project - roll out of the physical and then
virtual servers ... about 100+ in total.

Similar to JSON, but other logic and format. Don't worry if you have time to
play a bit, ansible could be fun and you can not only get management for
your notebooks, vms etc, but also learn YAML.

Note: under jessie you need to install and configure virtual python3 env and
pip install ansible into it.

Best use latest (and greatest) ansible version
