Role prevalence divides postings mentioning Ansible by all postings for each role in the same window, ranking roles with at least 20 postings. Role distribution divides each role’s Ansible postings by all Ansible postings, including postings without a role. Shares need not sum to 100% for the displayed roles. Pages refresh weekly (or daily for the top-50 most-requested skills).
