Hi, I am working on ticket https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/4193. So far I have managed to port just the puppet's basic bodhi class. I think that should be basic role for bodhi in ansible. Now I am a little uncertain what to do next. I am not sure how many other roles should create in ansible. The most simple solution would be to have the following roles:

• bodhi_base
• bodhi_app
• bodhi_app_masher
• bodhi_proxy
• bodhi_app_epelmasher
• bodhi_app_masher_jobrunner

This is just mapping of puppet's bodhi classes to ansible roles. What I am asking myself is do I really need that many roles? Is it possible to do the job with fewer roles? Could other infra team members share their thoughts with me and help me a little bit?

I think its okay. However, I've recently learned that roles can be nested though, which might help with sprawl in our ansible/roles/ directory.

You can, for instance, have:

ansible/roles/bodhi/base ansible/roles/bodhi/app/wsgi ansible/roles/bodhi/app/masher

etc..

I plan to at some point namespace the badges and notifs roles like so:

ansible/roles/badges/frontend ansible/roles/badges/backend ansible/roles/notifs/frontend ansible/roles/notifs/backend

Cheers, and thanks for looking into the bodhi port! -Ralph
