For sys admins and devs, clarify that you can create OR edit server-vars.yml
Description
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/1563007c0f85d32a
For config options that require changes to server-vars.yml, make it clearer that the file might not already exist, and can be created OR edited.
In addition, clarify throughout that the file does not already include all possible config settings, and that you can add them if they are not already present
Numerous queries come in from people who are not able to find server-vars.yml, or who don't see the setting they need to change in that file already. They aren't sure that it's ok to add it.

Also, find out from the devops folks if this file (pointed to in the thread linked above) is a good model for people to use.

This is outdated. The only place I see that mentions changing server-vars.yml already covers this:
"Create or update the file /edx/app/edx_ansible/server-vars.yml to include the CCX feature flag."
