You can host collections and roles on Galaxy to share with the Ansible community. Galaxy content is formated in pre-packaged units of work such as `roles <playbooks_reuse_roles>`_, and new in Galaxy 3.2, `collections <collections>`_.
You can create roles for provisioning infrastructure, deploying applications, and all of the tasks you do everyday. Taking this a step further, you can create collections which provide a comprehensive package of automation that may include multiple playbooks, roles, modules, and plugins.
