For most things ansible is nice, but it has shortcomings. Most collections just are a collection of roles, but some things are better solved in your own modules. I made for myself an collection that manages systemd unit files, so that i can deploy an systemd unit in an ansible way with proper type information. I even automated the documentation, so that i don't need to write information about the argumentspec in two different places.
