Hi all - 

I've been writing Ansible playbooks for a while & including tags where I 
thought it made sense.  As could be expected, I reworked many of my 
playbooks now that I've got a rhythm to my design and included more 
intelligent/intuitive tagging.  I include a tag for deploying binaries, one 
for configuration, and one for assembling snippets (a subset of 
configuration).  Using tags in conjunction with one another has allowed me 
to execute roles, and subsets of roles with as little as two tags.  For 
example, execute role for appA, but only configure it (because it's already 
deployed).  It saves time with playbook execution for those situations 
where you know the application version is installed properly.  

It gets me excited every time I have to execute one because I actually get 
to use some functionality that I intentionally wrote.

What are some ways you use tags?  
How does it improve your automation execution?
