Some key concepts here include:
* Everything is expressed in simple YAML
* Steps can be run as non-root
* Modules can notify 'handlers' when changes occur.
* Tasks and handlers can be 'included' to faciliate sharing and 'class' like behavior
* Everything is expressed in a simple YAML data format, not a custom language, not code.
* Playooks can have many steps
* Any step can run as any user
* Conditional handlers fire on 'notify'. Ex: restart apache only once, at the end, only if needed
* Tasks and handlers can be 'included' to faciliate sharing and reuse
* Include statements can take parameters for customization, and be used more than once per file
* Variables from the host system (from facter, ohai, etc) bubble-up for use in templates
* Variables can be deferenced like {{ varname }} in both include directives & templates
* Templates are powered by Jinja2: http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/#synopsis
