The gen_nodes ansible role

The gen_nodes ansible role is used to let us generate certain target files we need upon bringup. The amount of files it generates will depend on the features you have enabled. For cloud environments terraform is supported and the following files are generated:

• The KDEVOPS_NODES file: defines which nodes to create

KDEVOPS_NODES and KDEVOPS_NODES_TEMPLATE

If using a cloud environment terraform will set these to be other files:

• KDEVOPS_NODES as terraform/nodes.tf
• KDEVOPS_NODES_TEMPLATE as $(KDEVOPS_NODES_ROLE_TEMPLATE_DIR)/terraform_nodes.tf.j2

Your workflow can override this to something different if needed. This just defines the terraform variable kdevops_nodes.
