Also, if you want to assign a specific tag in the role itself (as opposed
to assigning it in every playbook using this role) - you can do it with
include. Just move all the tasks from role's main.yml to a separate file
and put include with tag in main.yml instead, like this:
- include: role_tasks.yml tags=sometag
