This role obiously requires an OpenIndiana host system and following ansible modules:
- solaris_zone
- zfs
- dladm_vnic

updateinventory: true # will put the new zone on the first line of your local inventory
autoboot: "true" # shall the zone boot upon system boot
iptype: exclusive # exclusive-ip or shared-ip zone
filesystems: # list of filesystems, zoneroot is mandatory

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
- hosts: servers vars: - oizone: [... see above ..] roles: - role: oi-zone
