DESCRIPTION
Roles provide a mechanism to group repeated configuration settings. Roles are data structures that contain default_attributes, and over- ride_attributes, which are nested hashes of configuration settings, and a run_list, which is an ordered list of recipes and roles that should be applied to a host by chef-client. default_attributes will be overridden if they conflict with a value on a node that includes the role. Conversely, override_attributes will override any values set on nodes that apply them. When chef-client(8) configures a host, it will "expand" the run_list included in that host's node data. The expansion process will recur- sively replace any roles in the run_list with that role's run_list.
