EGI is responsible for several internal services either directly, or through collaboration with partners. Ansible roles are a simple, powerful way to express the desired state and composition of these services. As with many languages and tools, a certain amount of leeway is possible when it comes to the style of implementation. When working on roles, it’s a good idea to have common nomenclature, follow common styles and adopt common practice regarding documentation, community engagement, maintenance, support, etc. With this repository, we express the consensus view of the EGI Operations team about how Ansible roles should be developed. Some of the motivations for this work are described below.
