Ansible references a handful of files containing mandatory and optional
configuration directives. Modify these files to define the
target environment before running the Ansible playbooks. Configuration
tasks include:

* Target host networking to define bridge interfaces and
  networks.
* A list of target hosts on which to install the software.
* Virtual and physical network relationships for OpenStack
  Networking (neutron).
* Passwords for all services.
