Ansible FAQ clarifies
"‘inventory_hostname’ is a magic variable that indicates the current host
you are looping over in the host loop."
Is there a similar concept of *inventory_groupname* that can be made
available to be used inside a playbook ?
Unfortunately not.
e.g. If we are running a playbook in this manner
ansible-playbook -i inventory/prod site.yml --limit service_a
And 'prod' inventory is defined as below
[service_a]
host1
host2
[service_b]
host2
host3
Then is it feasible to reference the group name - service_a - inside
site.yml in this manner - {{ inventory_groupname }}
You'll need to provide that with --extra-vars
ansible-playbook -i inventory/prod site.yml --limit service_a
--extra-vars mylimit=service_a
I think this should work so you don't have to specify both limit and mylimit
ansible-playbook -i inventory/prod site.yml -e mylimit=service_a
site.yml

- hosts: all:&{{ mylimit | default('all') }}
