So we need to tell Python how to manage Kubernetes, and in order to do so, with the name kubectl setup.yaml. This playbook is working with an environment variable, kube-host equals kube-hostname. That is to make it flexible. Feel free to override the environment variable by hard-coding it in the playbook if you want to. But if you don't, well, there's a flexibility layer. Obviously, the playbook is my creation, and there are so many ways in which you can write your own playbook to do the setup.
