-   The OpenStack-Ansible project does not deploy these backends.
-   One of the backends must exist before deploying the ceilometer service.
+In case you have defined ``coordination_hosts`` in your

-Achieve HA by configuring the proper directives in ``ceilometer.conf`` using
-``ceilometer_ceilometer_conf_overrides`` in the ``user_variables.yml`` file.
-The `Ceilometer Admin Guide`_ details the
-options used in ``ceilometer.conf`` for HA deployment. The following is an
-example of ``ceilometer_ceilometer_conf_overrides``:
+You can explicitly disable coordination by setting
+``ceilometer_coordination_enable: false`` in your ``user_variables.yml``.
