##Ansible Best Practises Problem that is being addressed is to complexity of the ansible projects, soon as the project starts grow. Organization of the code in this repository shows how it is possible solve following issues:

• How to manage external roles
• Usage of variables
• Naming
• Staging
• Complexity of plays

##Directory Layout

production.ini            # inventory file for production stage
development.ini           # inventory file for development stage
test.ini                  # inventory file for test stage

group_vars/
    all                   # variables under this directory belongs all the groups
        common.yml        # Common role variable file
    webservers            # here we assign variables to webservers groups
        nginx.yml         # Each file will corspond to a role i.e. nginx
    postgresql            # here we assign variables to postgresql groups
        postgresql.yml    # Each file will corspond to a role i.e. postgresql
plays
    ansible.cfg           # Ansible.cfg file that holds all ansible config
    webservers.yml        # playbook for webserver tier
    postgresql.yml        # playbook for postgresql tier

    requirements.yml      # All the infromation about the roles
    external              # All the roles that are in git or ansible galaxy
