Acknowledgements

This role is inspired by Jonathan D Strootman's Ansible Galaxy role cyverse.beats. It offers more complete features and is less opinionated than this one. However, it doesn't support version 5 or follow my preferred variable naming style, which is why I created this new role.

I highly recommend checking out cyverse.beats. A big thank you to Strootman and Cyverse for their excellent roles.
