Hi All,
I've have searched literally all the available medium on internet for this
issue but could not find the solution. So decided to raise the problem in
this group.
I've a project having number of environments such as dev1, dev2, dev3,
sit1, sit2 and so on, with total of 20 environments. These environments
also share some servers between them.
I'm using Ansible for application deployment.
*Problem:* Before starting the deployment, I need to set the environment
variables by declaring the *key:value *pair under "*environment*" section.
It is not a problem if I have couple of environments to deploy but problem
arises when environment multiplies.
It is surely not feasible to create 20-30 main playbooks for each
environment and declaring the environment variables to use for that
deployment on playbook, as we need to source the .bashrc / .bash_profile
for each environment.
In my current set-up, I've created server_groups with environment names
like dev1, dev2 etc. And, assigned servers to that group on Ansible Tower.
To trigger the app deployment, I'm passing environment name(for eg. dev1 )
which is then assigned to variable "env_name" in site_main.yml and
deployment is done based on the servers in dev1 group.
Environment variables for dev1 are declared under *environment* keyword in
site_main.yml. But that becomes very clumsy if I have to manage n number of
playbooks for n number of environments.
Is there any way where I can create n number of environment files under
*vars* or *group_vars* directory having variables of that environment? And,
I can dynamically call the environment file such as
*environment: "{{ env_name }}.yml"*
I have seen examples such as below but env_name is hardcoded below and NOT
dynamic:
vars:
dev1:
variable1: "{{ value1 }}"
variable2: "{{ value2 }}"
environment: "{{ dev1 }}"
Can someone please suggest me the solution or any other better approach?
Thanks,
Ashish
