-Security hardening
-==================

-OpenStack-Ansible automatically applies host security hardening configurations
-by using the `ansible-hardening`_ role. The role uses a version of the
-`Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG)`_ that has been adapted for
-Ubuntu 14.04 and OpenStack.
-
-The role is applicable to physical hosts within an OpenStack-Ansible deployment
-that are operating as any type of node, infrastructure or compute. By
-default, the role is enabled. You can disable it by changing the value of
-the ``apply_security_hardening`` variable in the ``user_variables.yml`` file
-to ``false``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    apply_security_hardening: false
-
-You can apply security hardening configurations to an existing environment or
-audit an environment by using a playbook supplied with OpenStack-Ansible:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    # Apply security hardening configurations
-      openstack-ansible security-hardening.yml
-
-    # Perform a quick audit by using Ansible's check mode
-      openstack-ansible --check security-hardening.yml
-
-For more information about the security configurations, see the
-`OpenStack-Ansible host security`_ hardening documentation.

-By default, OpenStack-Ansible automatically applies the security hardening role
+By default, OpenStack-Ansible automatically applies the ansible-hardening role
 to all deployments. The role has been carefully designed to perform as follows:
 
 * Apply nondisruptively to a production OpenStack environment
 * Balance security with OpenStack performance and functionality
 * Run as quickly as possible
