"you cannot execute a role conditionally, you CAN pass a condition to every
task in a role."
True!
- { role: asdf, when: foo == 'asdf' }
Another good trick is group_by is a great way to create a small group of
hosts where a given condition is true or false, and then you just apply
that role to that group.
- hosts: all
tasks:
- group_by: key=foo_{{ foo }}
# talk to all hosts where the value of foo is asdf
- hosts: foo_asdf
roles:
- asdf
