-#OpenShift Ansible
+# OpenShift Ansible
-This repo contains Ansible code for OpenShift. This repo and the origin RPMs
-that it installs currently require a package that provides `docker`. Currently
-the RPMs provided from dockerproject.org do not provide this requirement, though
-they may in the future.
+This repository contains [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) code to install,
+upgrade and manage [OpenShift](https://www.openshift.com/) clusters.
-##Branches and tags
+**Note**: the Ansible playbooks in this repository require an RPM package that
+provides `docker`. Currently, the RPMs from
+[dockerproject.org](https://dockerproject.org/) do not provide this requirement,
+though they may in the future. This limitation is being tracked by
+[#2720](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/issues/2720).
-The master branch tracks our current work and should be compatible with both
-Origin master branch and the most recent Origin stable release. Currently that's
-v1.4 and v1.3.x. In addition to the master branch we maintain stable branches
-corresponding to upstream Origin releases, ie: release-1.2. The most recent of
-branch will often receive minor feature backports and fixes. Older branches will
-receive only critical fixes.
+## Branches and tags
+
+The [master branch](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/tree/master)
+tracks our current work and should be compatible with both [Origin master
+branch](https://github.com/openshift/origin/tree/master) and the [most recent
+Origin stable release](https://github.com/openshift/origin/releases). Currently
+that's v1.4 and v1.3.x. In addition to the master branch, we maintain stable
+branches corresponding to upstream Origin releases, e.g.:
+[release-1.2](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/tree/release-1.2).
+The most recent branch will often receive minor feature backports and fixes.
+Older branches will receive only critical fixes.
Releases are tagged periodically from active branches and are versioned 3.x
corresponding to Origin releases 1.x. We unfortunately started with 3.0 and it's
not practical to start over at 1.0.
