Roles:

Roles let you automatically load related vars_files, tasks, handlers, and other Ansible artifacts based on a known file structure. Once you group your content in roles, you can easily reuse them and share them with other users

In this article we create two Role for Haproxy and Webserver configure .

🌟Controller Node🌟

192.168.0.113 in this controller node we will config our Loadbalancer.

🌟Managed Node🌟

192.168.0.118 this managed node is our backed webserver .

👉 Creating an ansible role haproxy_role and webserver_role:

# ansible-galaxy role init haproxy_role
# ansible-galaxy role init
webserver_role

# ansible-galaxy role list

My Roles in Role folder so role_path=/root/roles

👉For configuring Load Balancer using haproxy_role role:
