turnkey
Plug and play
Turnkey describes something complete and ready for immediate use.
A turnkey system, solution, or project requires no further work—just turn the key and go: The contractor delivered a turnkey home.
The term appears frequently in business and technology contexts: turnkey software, a turnkey operation.
As a noun, a turnkey is an archaic term for a jailer—one who turns the key.
