Using roles to create execution environments
The command line is the way to use Ansible Builder, and there are roles to help build execution environments using Configuration as Code (CaC). This section will cover two roles from redhat_cop.ee_utilities. The first is the ee_builder role, which is built to take inputs and build out an execution environment. The second role is virtualenv_migrate, which is built to convert a Python virtual environment from a legacy Ansible Tower installation into an EE using the ee_builder role.

The ee_builder role takes the following variables. They are the variable equivalents of the sections...
