Roles

Role Variables

• group_vars/all - Contains variable definitions that apply to all roles.
• "common" role - Contains variables and tasks that apply to all roles that are edX specific.
• Roles variables - Variables specific to a role should be defined in /vars/main.yml. All variables should be prefixed with the role name.
• Role defaults - Default variables should configure a role to install edx in such away that all services can run on a single server
• Variables that are environment specific and that need to be overridden should be in all caps.

• Every role should have a standard set of role directories, example that includes a python and ruby virtualenv:
