<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>Roles provide a mechanism to group repeated configuration settings.
Roles are data structures that contain <strong>default_attributes</strong>, and
<strong>override_attributes</strong>, which are nested hashes of configuration
settings, and a <strong>run_list</strong>, which is an ordered list of recipes and
roles that should be applied to a host by chef-client.</p>
<p><strong>default_attributes</strong> will be overridden if they conflict with a value
on a node that includes the role. Conversely, <strong>override_attributes</strong>
will override any values set on nodes that apply them.</p>
<p>When <strong>chef-client</strong>(8) configures a host, it will "expand" the
<strong>run_list</strong> included in that host's node data. The expansion process
will recursively replace any roles in the run_list with that role's
run_list.</p>
