+Bootstrap
+---------
+
+The ``bootstrap`` role can be used for bootstraping a new server with
+Ansible. In order to apply this role to a server, all that is necessary is root
+access to the server (either via SSH or locally).
+
+The role implements the following:
+
+* Installs sudo package.
+* Creates operating system user and group for Ansible (``ansible``).
+* Sets-up an authorized_key for operating system user ``ansible`` (for remote
+  SSH access).
+* Configures sudo to allow operating system user ``ansible`` to run sudo
+  commands without password authentication.
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**ansible_key** (string, mandatory)
+  SSH public key that should be deployed to authorized_keys truststore for
+  operating system user ``ansible``.
+
+
+Examples
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Since the role is meant to be used just after the server has been installed, and
+using the ``root`` account, it is probably going to be invoked from a separate
+playbook.
+
+For example, a playbook (``bootstrap.yml``) could look something similar to:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  ---
+
+  - hosts: "{{ server }}"
+    remote_user: root
+    roles:
+      - bootstrap
+    vars:
+      ansible_key: "{{ lookup('file', 'authorized_keys/ansible.pub') }}"
+
+With such a playbook in place, it would be invoked with:
+
+  ansible-playbook --ask-pass -e server=test1.example.com bootstrap.yml
