ABORT due to existing redis instance

use redis_clean = true and redis_safeguard = false to force clean redis data

This happens when you run redis.yml to init a redis instance that is already running, and redis_clean is set to false.

If redis_clean is set to true (and the redis_safeguard is set to false, too), the redis.yml playbook will remove the existing redis instance and re-init it as a new one, which makes the redis.yml playbook fully idempotent.
