How to remotely deploy a Linux image?

Question

linux

Good afternoon. There are N pieces of VPS \ PC
There is a reference image. The format of the image is not important, I will make any as needed. Right now everything is done with clonezilla.
How to deploy it to machines with only ssh access? How can I load the image into memory, from which everything is already rolled?
Access to remote networks is not and is not expected)

Answer 1

Risky but possible. Here is an example of the MikroTIK CHR image

Answer 2

It's Windows-style to click on the system and then clone it like a black box.
In Linux, there is an orchestration for this, for which you need to figure out exactly what and how exactly you install, but it will allow you to flexibly change the result when requirements change (software updates, for example) and fully support these N machines after installation.

Answer 3

Well, for example XCAT
Or network boot + ansible.....
