Automating Linux installation on a local headless server



The Next CEO of Stack Overflow

I have local server without a graphics accelerator (i.e., headless machine), which will later become a multi-GPU node. I am wondering what tool(s) would be best for automating hard drive partitioning and Linux installation over USB or local network. The tools I have considered thus far are Ansible, Packer, Cobbler, and Foreman. I found a nice example of using Cobbler for kickstarts/preseeding here. I figured this task would be a nice opportunity to learn proper DevOps tools that can also be used in a datacenter environment. Thank you in advance.
