# in Ansible 1.2 and later, roles allow easy best-practices organization of content
|
||
|
|
# and maximize shareability of ansible building blocks.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# suppose a playbook applied to a group of hosts includes two roles, foo and bar.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# what do roles do in this case?
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# listing the roles as foo and bar will auto include the following:
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# tasks from ./roles/foo/tasks/main.yml, then ./roles/bar/tasks/main.yml
|
||
|
|
# handlers from ./roles/foo/handlers/main.yml, then ./roles/bar/handlers/main.yml
|
||
|
|
# vars from ./roles/foo/vars/main.yml, then ./roles/bar/vars/main.yml
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# should any of these files not exist, that is ok, and they will simply not be loaded.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# should the task file in foo/tasks/main.yml want to include subtasks in other files, that
|
||
|
|
# is also permitted.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# templates and copy operations also get smarter about where to look for content when using
|
||
|
|
# roles.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# as an example, a task in foo/tasks/main.yml could copy or template a file by
|
||
|
|
# referencing a "src=foo.j2" rather than having to explicitly path src=roles/foo/templates/foo.j2.
