Bug Description
- [x] This doc is inaccurate in this way:
- Step 4: the kernel version is always > 3.13.0-34-generic with 18.04 and later. If the requirement is still 3.13.0-34-generic, this step is unnecessary and can be removed.
- Step 5: I'm relatively certain that some of these packages are already installed by default nowadays (sudo definitely is). It could be shortened based on what 18.04 and 20.04 ship in their default installation.
- Step 6: A search for linux-image-extra in the Ubuntu repos (including UCA) does not yield any results. After a quick search, those packages seem to be called linux-modules-extra now.
- Step 8: Is chrony still the preferred choice instead of something like systemd-timesyncd? As I understand, the intention here is not to run an NTP server, but just synchronize the system time, right? In any case, updating this to use systemctl won't hurt.
- [ ] This is a doc addition request.
- [ ] I have a fix to the document that I can paste below including example: input and output.

Another observation:
Step 7 is unnecessary, as it is automated in the openstack_hosts role: https:/ /github. com/openstack/ openstack- ansible- openstack_ hosts/blob/ stable/ ussuri/ tasks/configure _metal_ hosts.yml
