needed anymore.

 You need to edit your inventory and add:
 
 * `calico_rr` group with nodes in it. `calico_rr` can be combined with
-  `kube_node` and/or `kube_control_plane`. `calico_rr` group also must be a child

 When _kube_node_ contains _etcd_, you define your etcd cluster to be as well schedulable for Kubernetes workloads.
 If you want it a standalone, make sure those groups do not intersect.
 If you want the server to act both as control-plane and node, the server must be defined

+Lastly, the **k8s_cluster** is dynamically defined as the union of **kube_node**, **kube_control_plane** and **calico_rr**.
