Set it up once. Snapshot an image (called an AMI on AWS, but applies on all cloud services). Use the image to make new identical instances.

You can also script the process with (for example) Terraform.

Nearly every company I've ever worked for could get away with only using:

- packer for images

- terraform for prod infra

- vagrant for local dev

- pssh for ci/cd and config management

And in some cases I would say they'd be far more efficient with this setup.
