How to Automate QEMU/KVM VM Deployments? (lemmy.ca)

I'm looking to use KVM/QEMU on my Linux computer.

Are there scripts that help me automate deploying the same VM builds I've done before -- with the same RAM, HDD, networking, etc.. settings.

I've found the following but I'm not sure if there are better options:

Would Ansible be a better option for this?
