Summary
Automating the installation of Tailscale on multiple devices can be efficiently managed using Infrastructure as Code, a concept explored in a new video series focused on cloud automation. The first video demonstrates how to manually deploy a pre-configured VPS instance, referred to as a "droplet," on DigitalOcean using cloud-init to join a tailnet. Future installments will explore further automation techniques using Terraform and Ansible. Relevant code snippets are available in the Tailscale documentation and an open-source GitHub repository created for this series.
