These playbooks would be better +organized in a `playbooks/init` directory collocated with all their related +playbooks. + +In the example below, the following changes have been made: +* `playbooks/byo/openshift-cluster/initialize_groups.yml` renamed to + `playbooks/init/initialize_host_groups.yml` +* `playbooks/common/openshift-cluster/std_include.yml` renamed to + `playbooks/init/main.yml` +* `- include: playbooks/init/initialize_host_groups.yml` has been added to the + top of `playbooks/init/main.yml` +* All other related files for initialization have been moved to `playbooks/init` + +The `initialize_host_groups.yml` playbook is only one play with one task for +importing variables for inventory group conversions. This task could be further +consolidated with the play in `evaluate_groups.yml`. + +The new standard initialization playbook would be +`playbooks/init/main.yml`. + + +``` + +> $ tree openshift-ansible/playbooks/init +. +├── evaluate_groups.yml +├── initialize_facts.yml +├── initialize_host_groups.yml +├── initialize_openshift_repos.yml +├── initialize_openshift_version.yml +├── main.yml +├── roles -> ../../roles +├── validate_hostnames.yml +└── vars + └── cluster_hosts.yml +``` + +```yaml +# openshift-ansible/playbooks/init/main.yml +--- +- include: initialize_host_groups.yml + +- include: evaluate_groups.yml + +- include: initialize_facts.yml + +- include: validate_hostnames.yml + +- include: initialize_openshift_repos.yml + +- include: initialize_openshift_version.yml +``` + +### `byo` and `common` Playbook Consolidation +Historically, the `byo` directory coexisted with other platform directories +which contained playbooks that then called into `common` playbooks to perform +common installation steps for all platforms. Since the other platform +directories have been removed this separation is no longer necessary. + +In the example below, the following changes have been made: +* `playbooks/byo/openshift-master` renamed to + `playbooks/openshift-master` +* `playbooks/common/openshift-master` renamed to + `playbooks/openshift-master/private` +* Original `byo` entry point playbooks have been updated to include their + respective playbooks from `private/`. +* Symbolic links have been updated as necessary + +All user consumable playbooks are in the root of `openshift-master` and no entry +point playbooks exist in the `private` directory.

To +deploy an entire OpenShift cluster, a playbook would be created to tie together +all of the different components.
