Description
To speed up launching new schedulers/workers it is possible to [cache your environment and Docker image on a cloud specific VM image with Packer](https://cloudprovider.dask.org/en/latest/packer.html).
Currently this involves using `VMCluster.get_cloud_init` to generate the cloud init and then writing a bespoke Packer config for your chosen cloud.
It would be nice if we could go the next step and generate a Packer config for you with a similar method.
