I now have

group\_vars/webservers

is there a way that I make, let’s say group\_vars/webservers.part1 and group\_vars/webservers.part2 ?

my point is that those files would be stil automatically picked up by ansible (because of the webservers name in filename)

or am I doing something wrong and should I take a different approach?

You can but the method will be slightly different.

“webservers” can be a directory with many files in it.

Example:

group\_vars/webservers/foo
