Hello

we would like to ask if this is possible, Organizing host specific configurations for web servers via host\_vars directory. our goal is to consolidate all host specific machine configurations (ie, IP addresses1, IP address2, virtual host configurations per hosts… etc)

our current playbook scenario

inventory/  
playbooks/  
 → cms-generic/  
 → group\_vars/group\_varible.yml  
 → host\_vars/host\_server1.yml  
host\_server2.yml  
host\_serverN.yml

…  
…

we are wondering if this are possible

inventory/  
playbooks/  
 → cms-generic/  
 → group\_vars/group\_varible.yml  
 → host\_vars/groupA/host\_server1.yml  
host\_server2.yml  
 → host\_vars/groupB/host\_server3.yml  
host\_server4.yml  
 → host\_vars/groupN/host\_serverN.yml

Thank you
