We could automate all these steps using scripts. A very good example is the scripts by RightScale - http://github.com/rightscale/right_link/tree/master

Definitely agree, and the series will move in that direction. However, I think it is important to go over the setup sans automation first -- for the sake of people who have never used the utilities I'm going over.

After all, some will need to step out of an automated script's / puppet config / chef recipe box to do something custom to their setup.
