Mac Studio shared Lab setup

I’m working on scoping a project for a new co-op. This space will have 20 macOS devices in a lab and 6 editing bays with new Mac Studio devices. I’m looking for a way to “refresh” these devices nightly where changes made on the devices would be wiped and restored to the standard config. I would want to manage patches for applications on the base image only. Is it possible to do this fully with JAMF Pro or will I need other tools as well?

You could run EACS and return them to new.  Then, you'd just build out policies to install/update apps.

Here's some info on using it.

one option I could suggest off hand is using Auto Advance. Deploy/cache a macOS installer, kick off a policy at X time to erase and reinstall the Mac, use auto advance to configure/prestage and get the Mac back to usable state.
