+# vars/
+
+This directory contains variable definition files for the `svc-rdbms-mariadb` Ansible role. It centralizes all configurable values related to MariaDB deployment and can be adjusted without modifying task logic.
+
+---
+
+## files and their purpose
+
+### 1. `config/main.yml`
+
+Contains configuration values that determine which Docker image version to use and what hostname the container will be registered under.
+
+* **`version`** (string):
+
+  * Default: `"latest"`
+  * The MariaDB image tag to pull (e.g. `10.6`, `10.11`, or `latest`).
+
+* **`hostname`** (string):
+
+  * Default: `"central-mariadb"`
+  * The container name and DNS alias within the `central_mariadb` network. Used by other services (like Moodle) to connect.
+
+> **Tip:** Pin to a specific minor version (e.g., `10.6.12`) in production to avoid breaking changes on rebuilds.
+
+---
+
+### 2. `main.yml`
+
+Minimal file defining the application identifier for the role.
+
+* **`application_id`** (string):
+
+  * Default: `"mariadb"`
+  * Logical name used in templates, notifications, or paths when multiple roles/services may coexist.
