Acknowledgements
This role is based on Jonathan D Strootman's Ansible Galaxy role cyverse.beats. It is a more complete implementation and less opinionated than this role. But it doesn't support v5 or follow the variable naming convention my roles follow. Thus this new role.
I'd highly recommend cyverse.beats. A big thanks to Strootman and Cyverse for their great roles.
