Hi,
I am setting up a system using ansible where my configuration values
are defined in defaults/main.yml. If the user wants to override it,
they will edit vars/main.yml with the same dictionary structure. e.g.
$ cat defaults/main.yml
app:
port: 10000
workers: 10
$ cat vars/main.yml
app:
port: 20000
So, now my configuration will be:
app:
port: 2000
workers: 10
To do this, I set hash_behaviour=merge in my ansible.cfg. This does
work as expected. But, I am not sure if it'll cause me any trouble
going ahead or add unnecessary complexity? Is it safe to go ahead with
this setting as long the whole deployment code will be maintained by
me?
