Hi everyone, I am a middleware engineer and am looking at possibilities to use Ansible for extremely complex middleware use-cases. I have read over some of the various projects at the Ansible Galaxy site. I wanted to ask the group if Ansible is flexible to dynamically generate playbooks, or dynamically generate variable files for every use-case. As a simple exmaple, all my use-cases need an ssl certificate signed by verisign where the cn of the certificate would match the hostname of the host. From what I have read so far I should become familiar with roles, where a role would be similar to an automated instruction set. Installing the middleware product onto a host seems to be a very basic role, I'm concerned using Ansible for complex middleware use-cases might run into limitations, or an enormous amount of yaml files. I'm hoping to get some feedback on limitations or infomation from people with experience using Ansible with middleware products (WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss).
