 If a vagrant run failed and you've made some changes to fix the issue causing
 the fail, here is how you would re-run ansible:
 
 ```ShellSession
-ansible-playbook -vvv -i .vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory cluster.yml
+vagrant provision
 ```
 
 If all went well, you check if it's all working as expected:
 
-```ShellSession
-kubectl get nodes
