    one thing is to play to what you know. Also know that collections can be roles, modules, or both. A few biased collections to look at to see the difference would be infra.controller_configuration - a set of roles to implement either the awx.awx collection or ansible.controller collection for doing configuration as code.
  • What is "best"? One playbook doing everything, or many playbooks doing one thing each, or somewhere in between?

    multiple collections with grouped roles, then playbooks to execute those roles as needed. You can also do role include like dispatch here to make it more flexible.

    For the server configuration, its on the kubernetes side, however for the AWX configuration of projects, job templates, credentials and the like is the redhat_cop.controller_configuration collection. It uses the awx.awx collection or the ansible.controller configuration to interact with the API to manage things in AWX. The collections are built to work with Ansible Automation Controller, but 99.9% of the time its going to work with AWX.
