How to specify variables to be used in roles?

I am in the process of migrating to Ansible roles model and I have the following structure -

…/roles/vms/tasks/main.yml

`

What is your file structure? You show a vms role, but not a vmcreation role, but yet your playbook includes the vmcreation role?

I think I know what you’re after. Try this.

Have two files in …/roles/vms/vars, namely,

…/roles/vms/vars/vmname81.yml
`

Sorry, the include_vars should be:

`

  • include_vars: “vars/vmname{{ windows_ver }}.yml”
    `

Thank you, Zilla. I got a simpler solution for this question which I posted at Stack Overflow wherein I didn’t have to split vars files. I have had success following it.
