Vagrant Ansible Example

Purpose

This Vagrantfile provisions a CentOS 7 VM using Ansible.

The base image was created by this Packer template, and is hosted on Atlas.

The playbook will set custom facts for use in a subsequent play, and then install Ruby and Nginx through the use of Ansible Roles.

It serves as an example for how to automatically pull down roles from Ansible Galaxy, use them, and how to set custom facts.
