*UPDATE* - I reverted back to an older snapshot of the test box but that
leads me to other questions about how to handle tasks when they're not
completed in a timely Ansible time. I was looking into the async piece
where you can set a polling interval and such,
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_async.html when I asked my
boss about it he said that this would be his last effort - is this not the
proper way to handle situations like this where tasks fail for taking too
long? I'm new so I don't know :)
When I leverage this playbook against 60+ hosts I'm not going to be able to
manually troubleshoot ones that are taking a long time because x y z.
