(see 4-7, 9, 10 from the list of priorities) says that playbook level
variables override an inventory ones. Can somebody explain why this is the
case? To me this is counter-intuitive and keeps leading to mistakes.
Intuitive way would be:
1) role defaults (specified within the role itself)
⇩
2) infrastructure defaults, e.g. datacenter level (specified in group_vars
or host_vars on the playbook level)
⇩
3) inventory defaults, e.g. availability zone, or a specific project, etc
(specified in group_vars or host_vars on inventory level)
However the fact is that 2 always overrides 3. How was it supposed to be
used?
