overall, like the idea. This probably needs to go into redpanda-ansible-collection instead of here. Let's discuss with @gene-redpanda in slack.

We've got deb/rpm packages for rpk, can we use those instead? This significantly simplifies deployment work and aligns with how we generally deploy on bare-os.

This whole section would go away with the os packages for rpk I think

We probably should follow the same license install pattern that's used in redpanda-ansible-collection

Should this be templated so you can run more than one rpcn pipeline per node?

same comment here about templating to run more than one pipeline per node

We don't have much tooling to operate a fleet of self-managed Redpanda Connect nodes, so I created three simple Ansible playbooks to 1.) stage RPCN as a systemd service, 2.) update a pipeline config and restart the service and 3. )stop the service. I've included versions of each playbook for CE and Enterprise. The main difference with Enterprise is it allows you stage a redpanda.license file.
