Ansible playbooks to run ansible on a remote "openshift control" what will run
`openshift-ansible`_ to deploy a cluster.

What? Why?
----------

The `openshift-ansible`_ playbooks require that various tasks be run on
``localhost`` in order to build their internal abstracted representation of the
inventory list. Running potentially arbitrary code from external sources on a
bastion host (which is what ``localhost`` would be as the ansible control
machine) is often frowned upon. The goal here is to allow for the deployment of
`openshift-ansible`_ via an intermediate host.
