# config file for ansible
# ==================================================

# nearly all parameters can be overridden in ansible-playbook 
# or with command line flags. ansible will read ~/.ansible.cfg, 
# ansible.cfg in the current working directory or
# /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg, whichever it finds first
