@@ -21,30 +21,30 @@ edpm_podman_registries_conf
 `edpm_podman_disconnected_ocp` is a boolean variable that is used to conditionally render `registries.conf` on the dataplane nodes during the deployment. While `edpm_podman_registries_conf` contains the contents of the `registries.conf` that were acquired from the `MachineConfig` in the cluster. The contents of this file will be written to  `/etc/containers/registries.conf` on each of the dataplane nodes. This ensures that our dataplane nodes are configured in a consistent manner with the OpenShift nodes.
 
 Since this configuration file is lifted directly from OpenShift, the dataplane nodes also have the same requirements as OpenShift for images - such as using image digests rather than image tags.
-This can be seen in the Ansible inventory secret for each of the `OpenStackDataPlaneNodeSet` objects in the cluster. Using `multipathd` as an example:
