We have been using the ansible-galaxy command throughout the previous chapters. In this chapter, we are going to look at more of the features provided by the command. Ansible Galaxy is an online repository of community contributed roles; we will discover some of the best roles available, how to use them, and how to create your own role and have it hosted on Ansible Galaxy.
By the end of the chapter, we will have worked through the following:
- An introduction to Ansible Galaxy
- How to use roles from Ansible Galaxy in your own playbooks
- How to write and submit your own roles to Ansible Galaxy
