The "canonical" way is to use cloud-init for setting up auth, and then ansible for configuration. So the first step in your case would be to convert your customizations to an ansible playbook, and then provisioning is essentially boot + run playbook. You can then use git to version your playbook. :) If you'd like to modify the host in fundamental ways (e.g. adding/removing a lot of base packages), you could also compose your own OSTrees. The Fedora Atomic Host images are based on the manifest files from here: https://pagure.io/fedora-atomic There's no native way right now to just "clone" an existing machine and duplicate it across VMs. You might have luck with e.g. snapshotting and then using something like `virt-sysprep`, though I haven't tried it myself with AH.
