Day-13 Refactoring Ansible Playbooks into Roles 🚀

Source: Dev.to

The Playbook

- name: Installing and running apache2
  hosts: all
  roles:
    - httpd

Leveling Up with Roles

I created my first role structure:

roles/
└── my-app/
    ├── tasks/
    │   └── main.yml
    ├── handlers/
    │   └── main.yml
    └── vars/
        └── main.yml

This makes the code reusable. If I need this configuration again, I just call the role!

Has anyone else here struggled with the directory structure of Roles initially? Let me know in the comments! 👇
