 Ansible is an open source software tool that automates and improves
 configuration management and application deployment. Without tools like
 Ansible, setting up or updating OnionPerf experiments is a fully manually
 process, which can be error-prone and cumbersome. When establishing
 multiple OnionPerf instances, automating the setup or update process with
 Ansible makes it possible to run these experiments efficiently and
 reproducibly. In this task we will also make software changes that solve
 an existing disk space issue on OnionPerf instances. Right now, an
 OnionPerf instance keeps writing logs to its disk until that disk gets
 full. To solve this problem, we will sync logs to another location and
 delete them after a short while to keep storage requirements for OnionPerf
 instances constant. Ideally, we would make these logs publicly available.
