Jithin, I'm a big proponent of Ansible for DevOps and installs, but in the case of Edx I wrote before and still believe that it does a disservice for the newcomers into the space. I would argue that the Edx Ansible code base was put together awhile back and it is not to the current Best Practices of the tool (Ansible) anymore. If you're lucky to have a working Ubuntu Edx VM - you're already ahead of many. Unless you want to build a reusable way of recreating your VMs from scratch again - I'd say you don't need Ansible anymore, and it may not help you figuring out the config files, only delay and confuse. The layered structure of Roles and Variable is extremely hard to decipher. It should be much faster for you to work directly with the configs and basic Python code (mostly, in the settings) to adjust the configuration to your specific needs. There are great examples of basic (important: basic) Edx installs without Ansible. I also like the Docker-based system and the installation process of the Devstack. It uses Ansible as well, but it limits the playbooks to specific components, which makes it a little easier to follow (just a little). Good luck.
