hi @Joy - rollback is not a concept that ansible supports directly. I.e. ansible does not keep state of before and after.
So, what I typically do is to manage state manually. roughly:- you create a separate parameters yaml / json file that describes a state - let's call it 'state1.yml'
- you run your playbook with state1.yml ==> broker is configured with state1 parameters
- you apply state2.yml and then you realize you want to go back to 'state1.yml'
- you run the playbook again with state1.yml ==> rollback done.
I usually only work with roll-forward, never with roll-back. otherwise you end up with a management challenge of your state files.
