---
# Unlike main.yml (which communicates with the IONOS Cloud Ansible module via
# localhost), _this_ playbook is run on the internal server (i.e. the VM that
# has _no_ connection to the Internet) via the jumpbox). Given said lack of
# Internet access, we're not able to, e.g., install or update any software, so
# instead, we will just dump some host information to a file on the internal
# server, and copy it back to our 'local' computer
