Seeking some best-practice advice about where to store variables within the following structure:
* multiple inventory folders ./inventory/x, ./inventory/y, ./inventory/z * inside each inventory folder, combinations of dynamic and static inventory sources * inside each inventory folder, environment specific group vars Currently I am copy-pasting variables common to all of the inventories (environments) between the all.yml group_vars files. My question: is there a way to have a 'global' group variables file I can use for this type of variable? I know I could source a file with include_vars: at the start of each of the multiple plays inside the playbooks, but hoped there might be something more elegant and/or automatic (like group_vars) available. Maybe even a simple restructure I can't think of. . ├── inventory │ ├── aws-dev │ │ ├── aws-dev │ │ ├── ec2.ini │ │ ├── ec2.py │ │ └── group_vars │ │ ├── all │ │ │ ├── all.yml │ │ │ └── secrets.yml │ │ ├── security_group_app.yml │ │ └── security_group_util │ │ ├── secrets.yml │ │ └── security_group_util.yml │ ├── aws-prod │ │ ├── aws-prod │ │ └── group_vars │ │ └── all │ │ ├── all.yml │ │ └── secrets.yml │ └── vmware-dev │ ├── group_vars │ │ ├── all │ │ │ ├── all.yml │ │ │ └── secrets.yml │ │ └── tag_role_app.yml │ ├── vmware-dev │ ├── vmware.ini │ └── vmware.py ├── roles ├── aws-configure.yml ├── aws-provision.yml ├── vmware-configure.yml └── vmware-provision.yml -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
