I have 4 machines on rackspace - two sets of machines, for production and
beta. Each set has a web server and db server.
Here's what the metadata for each machine would look like
metadata: {
group: web,
set: production
}
metadata: {
group: db,
set: production
}
metadata: {
group: web,
set: beta
}
metadata: {
group: db,
set: beta
}
While deploying to machine set beta and group web, I need to get certain
variables from machine set beta and group db. I have been trying various
ways to ensure I get the right machine. I got a pointer from somebody on
IRC to try intersection filter to get the correct machine from the group.
So, I did this
debug: var='groups['beta'] | intersection(groups['db'])'
The above gives me a string with machine name
"[u'beta_db1']"
I am unable to use it as shown in variables example
debug: var='hostvars[{{ group['beta'] | intersection['groups['db'])
}}][0]]['db_port']
It returns the result as
"hostvars[[u'beta_db'][0]]['db_port']"
I intend to use this in my vars/main.yml as
app_db_port: <the variable defined for beta db machine>
Am I in the right direction? If so how to handle the issue where hostvars
needs a list but intersection returns a string? Or is there a better way to
achieve what I want?
