Instead of breaking up package installations and removals into separate tasks, this patch moves them all under one task that does two execution steps. In addition, the security_enable_chrony variable was added to control the installation and configuration of chrony. The tox tests for the role were configured to skip chrony in the gate using a skipped tag, but this caused the package install/removal task to get skipped. Docs/release notes are included for the chrony change. Change-Id: I1def033953b50be3911cd932fd17b10dd2c658b7
openstack-ansible-security

The role is part of the OpenStack-Ansible project, which deploys enterprise-grade OpenStack clouds using Ansible. However, the role can easily be used outside of an OpenStack environment to secure hosts, virtual machines, and containers.
