+Create an embedded Ansible runtime
+##################################
+:tags: embedded, ansible
+
+
+About this repository
+---------------------
+
+The embedded ansible script will create an ansible runtime within the users home folder.
+This ansible runtime will be within a virtual envrionment and have all of the plugins
+required to run ansible standalone or in an OpenStack-Ansible compatible envrionment.
+
+
+Usage
+^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   source bootstrap-embedded-ansible.sh
+
+
+With the script sourced, the ansible enviornment will create a virtual environment at
+`${HOME}/ansible25` if it does not already exist.
+
+To leave the embedded ansible enviornment run the function `deactivate`.
