using set_fact that way requires you to check if those vars are defined, i believe this is a better approach: vars: is_master: "{{ inventory_hostname == master_hostname }}" is_slave: "{{ inventory_hostname == master_hostname }}" then you can just use them direcly in subsequent conditionals:

If you have 250 hosts with the same roles applied to them, then yes I'd go with that. You can make the inventories less huge depending on your naming convention by using regexes , e.g. [webservers] www[01:250].example.com Or if you'd rather you can have multiple static inventory files in a

Try setting up one inventory for QA, another for DEV, and a third for production. You can use the same playbooks with different inventories so it'll keep the environments isolated but you'll get better consistency between each env. On 6 July 2017 at 07:36, wrote: >
