Dig deeper into Ansible and F5 integration

Hi Payal. Still zero idea how all these files link together. I hate to sound like a broken record, but would you be able to put the name & path at the top of the file so we can see how they all link together, and also highlight any hidden files - I found a few the last time as you know - otherwise there is no way that you can tell how it works. :)

I am genuinely interested in following what you are putting down and have been hacking away at it for weeks, but because there is no way of understanding how all the files link together it is an impossible task.

I am sure that once we understand how the files all link together, and where the hidden files are that we can be up and running in no time!!
