While the previous approach worked for a single repository, it did not work for repo that might want to also use the Ansible roles. Ansible solves the problem of a group of roles in a single repo with collections. A collection allows importers to use the group of Ansible resources in a similar manner to a single repo that contains a role. This allows both this repo and others to use the available Ansible resources, without duplication. In order to make this change, the location of the Ansible roles has moved in order to match the collection namespace and name. It also removes the role path configuration and updates the playbooks to use the namespace collection.
