…le concepts (#75)

- Added another inventory file
  - Useful for coupling the same playbook to different inventories
- Renamed example role to clarify that it is being used as a local role
  - Ansible can use local roles and collections without them being built and installed, so long as they exist within the directory convention
- Moved collection role into collection
- Added a local collection
  - Local collections are poorly documented.
  - Like local roles, they don't need to be installed to be referenced in playbooks.
- Added dependencies in collection galaxy.yml
- Added a second playbook and playbook import statement
- Added role dependencies

# helloansible

This is a sample Ansible repo. It has many of the different pieces an Ansible repository can have:

## Collections and Roles

- "collections/ansible_collections" : local collections which don't require installation to be used
- "./my_namespace/my_collection/" : a collection which needs to be built before it can be used
- "./roles" : local roles which don't require installation to be used

## Dependencies

A top-level requirements.yml file. These files are used for playbook dependencies
Each of the collections also includes dependencies in their galaxy.yml files
The collection roles also have a dependency on the local role. Roles are also able to pull in galaxy roles, but we'd need to find a good no-op role for that.

## Playbooks

There are several inventories, in ini and yaml formats.

# Collections Plugins Directory

This directory can be used to ship various plugins inside an Ansible collection. Each plugin is placed in a folder that
is named after the type of plugin it is in. It can also include the `module_utils` and `modules` directory that
would contain module utils and modules respectively.

Here is an example directory of the majority of plugins currently supported by Ansible:

```
└── plugins
├── action
├── become
├── cache
├── callback
├── cliconf
├── connection
├── filter
├── httpapi
├── inventory
├── lookup
├── module_utils
├── modules
├── netconf
├── shell
├── strategy
├── terminal
├── test
└── vars
```

A full list of plugin types can be found at [Working With Plugins](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.12/plugins/plugins.html).

Role Name
=========

A brief description of the role goes here.

Requirements
------------

Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.

Role Variables
--------------

A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.

Dependencies
------------

A list of other roles hosted on Galaxy should go here, plus any details in regards to parameters that may need to be set for other roles, or variables that are used from other roles.

Example Playbook
----------------

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
roles:
- { role: username.rolename, x: 42 }

License
-------

BSD

Author Information
------------------

An optional section for the role authors to include contact information, or a website (HTML is not allowed).
