+Ansible playbooks ending in .yml or .yaml that are placed into this directory will be executed at the
+appropriate phase of the install process.
+
+Alternatively, plays may be placed in /var/lib/confluent/private/os/<profilename>/ansible/<directory>.
+This prevents public clients from being able to read the plays, which is not necessary for them to function,
+and may protect them from divulging material contained in the plays or associated roles.
+
+The 'hosts' may be omitted, and if included will be ignored, replaced with the host that is specifically
+requesting the playbooks be executed.
+
+Also, the playbooks will be executed on the deployment server. Hence it may be slower in aggregate than
+running content under scripts/ which ask much less of the deployment server
+
+Here is an example of what a playbook would look like broadly:
+
+- name: Example
+  gather_facts: no
+  tasks:
+       - name: Example1
+         lineinfile:
+           path: /etc/hosts
