Extending the provisioning system

Adding a new role

A "role" is a collection of Ansible settings and instructions that deploy a particular service or configuration

1. Create a new ansible role directory in playbooks/roles/

• Be sure to make any variables defined in your role's defaults/ directory follow the format MODULE_NAME__VAR_NAME (note the two underscores in the middle)
• Don't forget to define dependencies if your role has them.

2. Test your role:
3. Create a localconfig.yml file (use localconfig.yml.defaults as a template)
4. Set profile to dynamic
5. In the vars section, add YOU_ROLE_NAME__enabled: true to the vars section
6. Follow the setup instructions linked above to provision a fresh VM
