Bastion host
--------------
If you prefer to not make your nodes publicly accessible (nodes with private IPs only),
you can use a so called *bastion* host to connect to your nodes. To specify and use a bastion,
simply add a line to your inventory, where you have to replace x.x.x.x with the public IP of the
bastion host.
```
bastion ansible_ssh_host=x.x.x.x
```
