Ansible Roles and How to Use them in Playbooks
This article covers how to Create Roles and Use them in Ansible Playbooks. Ansible is a configuration management tool that is designed to automate controlling servers for administrators and operations teams. With Ansible you can use a single central server to control and configure many different remote systems using SSH and Python as only requirements. Ansible carries out tasks on servers that it manages based on task definitions. These tasks invoke built-in and community maintained Ansible modules using small snippets of YAML for each task.
However, playbooks can become complex when they are responsible for configuring many different systems with multiple tasks for each system, so Ansible also lets you organize tasks in a directory structure called a Role. In this configuration, playbooks invoke roles instead of tasks, so you can still group tasks together and then reuse roles in other playbooks. Roles also allow you to collect templates, static files, and variables along with your tasks in one structured format.
