"An Ansible Role represents a reusable collection of tasks, files, variables, and dependencies that help to organize your Ansible playbooks. A Playbook, on the other hand, contains a series of plays (a play is a group of tasks) that are used to automate and orchestrate the configuration management process. While a role defines a set of configuration for a specific component, a playbook defines the order in which those roles will be executed for a given inventory of hosts."
