Hey guys,

How do people manage many multiple files that are for the vault?

grep vault ansible.cfg  
vault\_password\_file = roles/blah/files/\*.env

The idea here is to tell ansible that all env files in roles/blah/files are to be used with the vault. All will use same password. Can this be done? Most of the guides I have seen imply that the vault is mainly for using a single “vault file”.
