RHEL 8 System Roles API

RHEL System Roles are a collection of Ansible roles and modules for automating RHEL system configuration tasks including networking, storage, certificate management, SELinux, time sync, and firewall configuration. The roles expose a structured YAML-based API for declarative system state management through Ansible Automation Platform or standalone Ansible.
