-== ansible repository/structure ==
-
-files - files and templates for use in playbooks/tasks
-      - subdirs for specific tasks/dirs highly recommended
-
-inventory - where the inventory and additional vars is stored
-          - All files in this directory in ini format 
-          - added together for total inventory
-  group_vars: 
-          - per group variables set here in a file per group 
-  host_vars: 
-          - per host variables set here in a file per host 
-
-library - library of custom local ansible modules
-
-playbooks - collections of plays we want to run on systems
-
-  groups: groups of hosts configured from one playbook.
-  
-  hosts: playbooks for single hosts. 
-
-  manual: playbooks that are only run manually by an admin as needed.
-
-tasks - snippets of tasks that should be included in plays
-
-roles - specific roles to be use in playbooks. 
-        Each role has it's own files/templates/vars
-
-filter_plugins - Jinja filters
-
-master.yml - This is the master playbook, consisting of all 
-             current group and host playbooks. Note that the 
-             daily cron doesn't run this, it runs even over
-             playbooks that are not yet included in master. 
-             This playbook is usefull for making changes over 
-             multiple groups/hosts usually with -t (tag). 
-
-== Paths ==
-
-public path for everything is:
-
- /srv/web/infra/ansible
-
-private path - which is sysadmin-main accessible only is:
-
- /srv/private/ansible
-
-In general to run any ansible playbook you will want to run:
-
-sudo -i ansible-playbook /path/to/playbook.yml
-
-== Scheduled check-diff ==
-
-Every night a cron job runs over all playbooks under playbooks/{groups}{hosts}
-with the ansible --check --diff options. A report from this is sent to 
-sysadmin-logs. In the ideal state this report would be empty. 
-
-== Idempotency ==
-
-All playbooks should be idempotent. Ie, if run once they should bring the 
-machine(s) to the desired state, and if run again N times after that they should
-make 0 changes (because the machine(s) are in the desired state). 
-Please make sure your playbooks are idempotent. 
-
-== Can be run anytime ==
-
-When a playbook or change is checked into ansible you should assume 
-that it could be run at ANY TIME. Always make sure the checked in state
-is the desired state. Always test changes when they land so they don't 
-surprise you later.
