This Video explain the best practice standard folder structure followed in ansible although usage of Ansible should fit your needs, and feel free to modify this approach and organize as you see fit.

Ansible uses YAML files and various components to manage your infrastructure. But without a good folder structure, things can get messy quickly. So, let's break down some key directories and how they fit together.

Core Structure:

Project Root: This is your main folder for the entire project. Here, you'll create subdirectories for specific functionalities.

inventory: This file (or directory) defines the target machines Ansible will manage. You can specify hostnames, groups, and connection details.

roles: Here's where you organize reusable Ansible roles. Roles encapsulate specific functionalities like installing software or configuring services.

Additional Folders (Optional):

group_vars: Store variables specific to certain host groups defined in your inventory.
host_vars: Define variables for individual hosts, overriding group variables if needed.
files: This directory can store static files you want to copy to your managed systems during play execution.
vars: A central location for variables used across multiple playbooks, keeping your code DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).

Pro Tips:

Version Control: Use Git or another version control system to track changes and collaborate effectively.
Consistent Naming: Maintain a clear naming convention for files and directories to improve readability.
Separation of Concerns: Break down complex tasks into smaller, reusable roles for better maintainability.
