Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - role: hostname
       vars:
           hostname: "puppet"
           hostname_fqdn: "puppet.aecid-testbed.local"
           hostname_ip: "172.17.100.122"
