Agreed, the basic ansible attached to the project is helpful to get an idea on
how to get it to work (with some caveats such as the vagrant box is more likely
configured for dev than for prod (ie: running from the git checkout mounted
within the vm than running via wsgi/gunicorn from an app properly installed)).

I wonder if https://github.com/karmab/kcli maybe a suitable replacement to
vagrant.
