Greets,

Assuming I’ve got the following defined in group_vars:foo.yml

Sorry, meant to say bar: baz is defined in group_vars/foo.yml

Josh,

Thanks for the link but that’s not going to be a good fit. I’m trying to use the add_host module to dynamically alter group memberships of tagged instances in AWS. It would be great if anyone could provide an example of how this might be done? I know the currently accepted approach is to manually maintain these group relationships in static inventory files as per http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_dynamic_inventory.html#static-groups-of-dynamic-groups but that makes me depressed.

Best,
Adam
