Role Dependencies in meta/main.yml

Chain roles that require others.

Roles That Need Other Roles

Some roles only work if another role ran first. Your app role might need a base role to harden the server before it deploys.

Meet meta/main.yml

Every role can hold a meta/main.yml file. It stores role metadata like the author, supported platforms, and its dependencies.
