假设inventory文件为/etc/ansible/hosts,那么相关的hosts和group变量可以放在下面的目录结构下
/etc/ansible/group_vars/raleigh # can optionally end in '.yml', '.yaml', or '.json'
/etc/ansible/group_vars/webservers
/etc/ansible/host_vars/foosball
/etc/ansible/group_vars/raleigh 文件内容可以为
---
ntp_server: acme.example.org
database_server: storage.example.org
如果对应的名字为目录名,ansible会读取这个目录下面所有文件的内容
/etc/ansible/group_vars/raleigh/db_settings
/etc/ansible/group_vars/raleigh/cluster_settings
group_vars/ 和 host_vars/ 目录可放在 inventory 目录下,或是 playbook 目录下. 如果两个目录下都存在,那么 playbook 目录下的配置会覆盖 inventory 目录的配置.
