Overview

Collections are a distribution format for Ansible content. You can use collections to package and distribute playbooks, roles, modules, and plugins. You can publish and use collections through Ansible Galaxy <https://galaxy.ansible.com/ibm>.

Assumption for having collection as a repo, is it enable reuse of content as well, such repo can be easily used separately by just adding ansible.cfg.

Collection structure

Collections follow a simple data structure. None of the directories are required unless you have specific content that belongs in one of them. A collection does require a galaxy.yml file at the root level of the collection. This file contains all of the metadata that Galaxy and other tools need in order to package, build and publish the collection::
