And in order to do a deployment, we have kube configs (as secrets) setup to connect to a Kubernetes cluster when a workflow runs. The Kubernetes config has an expiration date and will become invalid when the Kubernetes certificates are rotated (k0s takes great care of that). When they expire, the deploys fail until we update the secret on Github Actions....

When I googled how to install private roles using ansible-galaxy, I found suggestions such as, “use git+https://github.com/…” or even better, “I am not sure what you’re doing, but it works for me (since Ansible 2.2)”.
