 ## Requirements
 
-- Ansible 2.9.0
-- An existing MySQL installation
+- An existing installation of MySQL or MariaDB.
 - python-jmespath on the ansible host
 
-### Example playbook
+<!-- BEGIN_ANSIBLE_DOCS -->
 
-```yml
-- hosts: localhost
-  collections:
-    - devsec.hardening
-  roles:
-    - mysql_hardening
-```
+## Supported Operating Systems
 
-This role expects an existing installation of MySQL or MariaDB. Changes of options `log_error` or `datadir` in `mysql_hardening_options` will not be checked for correct permissions. Please change/set `log_error` or `datadir` with the installation role of MySQL before running this role, or you can run this role twice.  
-Please ensure that the following variables are set accordingly:
-
-- `mysql_hardening_enabled: yes` role is enabled by default and can be disabled without removing it from a playbook. You can use conditional variable, for example: `mysql_hardening_enabled: "{{ true if mysql_enabled else false }}"`
-- `mysql_hardening_user: 'mysql'` The user that mysql runs as.
-- `mysql_hardening_mysql_hardening_conf_file: '/etc/mysql/conf.d/hardening.cnf'` The path to the configuration file where the hardening will be performed
-- _deprecated: `mysql_datadir: '/var/lib/mysql'` The MySQL data directory_
-  - `mysql_datadir` is no longer necessary, as MySQL data directory is automatically taken from `mysql_info`. But it can still be defined and will also be checked for correct permissions.
