What is a role in Ansible?
- AA reusable, self-contained bundle of tasks, variables, handlers and templates
- BA single action within a play that calls one module with its arguments
- CA group of hosts in the inventory that all share the same variables
- DA public website for sharing community content across the Ansible world
Why this is the answer
A role packages tasks, variables, handlers, templates and files for reuse. Not a single task, not an inventory group, and not Galaxy (the sharing site).
