Linux System Roles: One playbook to rule them all
summary
Ansible-based Linux System Roles present a stable abstract interface for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora, packaged in Galaxy and RPMs and CI-tested across releases. Network and storage roles demonstrate concrete behavior: the network role maps connections (bonds, VLANs, bridges) to NetworkManager or ifcfg providers and configures IPs and MTUs; the storage role uses blivet, creates VGs/LVs or whole-disk layouts with safe-mode to avoid data loss and supports LVM today. Demo builds a VM over iSCSI, creates LVs, exports NFS and enables firewall — the playbook run completes successfully.
