+=====================
+Playbook - install_os
+=====================
+
+Installs services necessary for the EDPM operation.
+Uses external `timesync` role from `system roles collection`_ to both install and configure chrony.
+
+--------------------------
+Time service configuration
+--------------------------
+
+Variables of the `timesync`_ system role can be overriden in a standard ansible way,
+while respecting resolution order. Default values are set in the `install_os` playbook,
+while allowing for override.
+
+All variables of the timesync role can used while using this playbook.
