 ## Contents
 
-* **ansible.cfg**: This Ansible configuration file instructs Ansible to use an inventory file named `hosts` in the current directory, and to use the default vagrant user (`vagrant`) and default insecure Vagrant SSH private key.
-
-* **hosts**: This file is created automatically when you run `vagrant status` or `vagrant up` (anytime Vagrant processes the `Vagrantfile`). This file relies on the presence of a "ip_addr" value in `machines.yml`. Do not edit this file directly---instead edit `machines.yml` to change the values that will be automatically written into this file.
+* **ansible.cfg**: This Ansible configuration file instructs Ansible to use an inventory file named `hosts` in the current directory, to use the default vagrant user (`vagrant`) and default insecure Vagrant SSH private key, and to use the Vagrant-generated Ansible inventory file (found, by default, in `./vagrant/provisioners/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory`).
 
 * **machines.yml**: This YAML file contains a list of VM definitions and associated configuration data. It is referenced by `Vagrantfile` when Vagrant instantiates the VMs. Generally the only change this file needs is to ensure the "box" value correctly references the Vagrant box you're using. The "ip_addr" value is also required in order to build the Ansible inventory file; you may want to edit this to a value appropriate for your environment.
