 ### `create_lxc.yml`
 **Creates and bootstraps a new LXC container on Proxmox.**
-- **Input**: Prompts for Container Name and IP Address.
+- **Input**: Prompts for Container Name, IP Address, VMID, CPU Cores, and Memory.
 - **Actions**:
-  1. Connects to Proxmox API to create a new unprivileged LXC container (Ubuntu 24.04).
-  2. Starts the container and waits for connectivity.
-  3. Temporarily adds the host to the inventory.
-  4. Automatically triggers `lxc_setup_ubuntu.yml` to secure the new container.
+  1. Connects to Proxmox API to create a new unprivileged LXC container.
+  2. **Injects SSH Keys**: Uses `vars.yml` to inject public keys directly into `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys` (bypassing password auth).
+  3. Starts the container and waits for connectivity.
+  4. Automatically secures the container (creates `mbuz` user, secures SSH, disables root) effectively running the logic of `lxc_setup_ubuntu.yml`.
+  5. Adds the new host to `inventory/hosts.ini` in the `[lxc]` group.
 
 ### `lxc_setup_ubuntu.yml`
 **Secures a fresh Ubuntu installation.**
