Ansible Roles

Structure and reuse automation code with Ansible roles for modular, maintainable infrastructure.

Role Directory Structure

A well-organized Ansible role follows a standardized directory structure:

│ ├── nginx.conf
│ └── ssl/
│ ├── cert.pem
│ └── key.pem
├── handlers/
│ └── main.yml
├── meta/
