The example was showing how to use the `files` option to pass in a local file as an authorized public key for root. While this works, it's a bit sloppy, given that there's a specific option, `key_name` which will use one of your public keys on your rackspace account and add it as an authorized key for root. In our case, one of our admins didn't notice the `key_name` option because they scrolled straight to the example and saw the `files` strategy. I propose that the example still shows `files`, but not using a root public key as an example, and instead also demonstrate the `key_name` option so that it's clear from the example how to get the initial root public key deployed. |

Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, application deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration engine.

Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release. You can find instructions here for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to releases.ansible.com and you can also install with pip.
Design Principles
- Have a dead simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
- Be super fast & parallel by default
- Require no server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
- Use a language that is both machine and human friendly
- Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content
- Manage remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping
- Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python
- Be usable as non-root
- Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.
Get Involved
- Read Contributing.md for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
- All code submissions are done through pull requests. Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use "git rebase" vs "git merge" for this reason. If submitting a large code change (other than modules), it's probably a good idea to join ansible-devel and talk about what you would like to do or add first and to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed.
