removing required_defaults_RedHat.yml; efi_distro seems to only get used for grub_config_path, and 'rhel' is not the correct path on my UEFI rhel8 system. It's 'redhat', and according to the only documentation [1] I found on a quick search, it's probably been this since EL6. Which means we can use 'redhat' all over the board. The unique values in efi_distro, grub_efi_binary and shim_efi_binary correspond to ansible_facts['distribution'], which holds true for centos and fedora aswell, so we can put all these in RedHat_family removing required_defaults_CentOS.yml; The common values from required_defaults_RedHat_family.yml should suffice. removing required_defaults_Fedora.yml; Support for fedora has been deprecated [2], but since it's in the os_family of redhat, we're only missing 'qemu-kvm' and 'policycoreutils-python-utils' from 'required_packages', so deployment will probably still work.

Bifrost
Bifrost (pronounced bye-frost) is a set of Ansible playbooks that automates the task of deploying a base image onto a set of known hardware using ironic. It provides modular utility for one-off operating system deployment with as few operational requirements as reasonably possible.
The mission of bifrost is to provide an easy path to deploy ironic in a stand-alone fashion, in order to help facilitate the deployment of infrastucture, while also being a configurable project that can consume other OpenStack components to allow users to easily customize the environment to fit their needs, and drive forward the stand-alone perspective.
Use cases include:
- Installation of ironic in standalone/noauth mode without other OpenStack components.
- Deployment of an operating system to a known pool of hardware as a batch operation.
- Testing and development of ironic in the standalone mode.
