Hi
I will be interested as well. Having these playbooks in ansible can also
be useful
in order to integrate with infra-ansible project.
I really see that collection as a valid alternative for puppet modules,
with the advantages
that ansible can provide, but of course that moving from puppet to
ansible on infra internally
is something that cannot be done easily, and needs a wider discussion.
If we limit the scope of the ansible playbooks only to infra components,
I think that infra
namespace is the way to go, having an independent group of reviewers.
Best
