Ho fols,
I was wondering if anyone could advise on how I can manage multi environment variables using ansible. Imagine i have development and staging. I have the following structure:
.
├── inventories
│ ├── development
│ │ ├── group_vars
│ │ │ └── all.yml
│ │ └── hosts
│ └── staging
│ ├─── group_vars
│ │ └── all.yml
│ │ └── hosts
├── roles
└── test.yml
In each all.yml file, i have one variable like this:
vars:
name:“development”
I was wondering how is the best approach to load the values depending on a parameter to set for example on command line (-i env=development).
In test.yml, I have this:
- name: test playbook
hosts: localhost
connection: local
tasks:
- name:
debug:
var: name
When I execute, I get this:
ansible-playbook -i inventories/development/ test.yml -vvv
…
ok: [localhost] => {
“name”: “VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!: ‘name’ is undefined”
}
I’m kind of new to ansible and I’ve found thousands of different ways and I was wondering what is the best approach? Because I’m kind of lost 
Regards,
