There are several Ansible Style Guides and I would like to present a different one based on existing ones with certain guidelines added and changed
It covers topics such as list of dictionaries as recommended structure for "more complex" variable, usage of set_fact, etc.
The presentation in PDF: https://github.com/abacusresearch/ansible-style-guide
List of topics:
- Changed/removed functionality in ansible-core 2.19 (and above)
- Guidelines on using variables defaults/ vs. vars/
- Jinja: conditionals, various variable types
- List of dictionaries and various filters used for list of dictionaries
- Multiline strings
- import_tasks vs. include_tasks
etc.
