kubectl multiple clusters how to best handle inventory.

Hi All,
I need some suggestions, I have an Ansible project that I use to deploy Kubernetes with KOPS. The inventory file is very simple

[targets] localhost ansible_connection=local

I also use this project to add additional functionality to my clusters with for instance the dashboard docker file. Basically it looks like:

`

  • name: Add Kubernetes dashboard deployment configuration
    template:
    src: kubernetes-dashboard.yaml.j2
    dest: /tmp/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml
    mode: 0644
    become: false

  • name: Launch Kubernetes dashboard service
    command: “kubectl create -f /tmp/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml”
    `

However I was thinking it would be better if I could pass a context into the kubectl command like cluster foo.east.example.com or foo.west.example.com. This is all supported already in kubectl like this:

  • name: Launch Kubernetes dashboard service
    command: “kubectl --context=foo.east.example.com create -f /tmp/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml”

What I’m not sure about is how I can setup my inventory file to perhaps have variables such as the cluster name. For instance could I do something like

`
[foo.east.example.com]
localhost ansible_connection=local

[foo.west.example.com]
localhost ansible_connection=local
`

And then setup a group/foo.east.example.com.yaml file and put my variables in there for that cluster and do the same for a group/foo.west.example.com/yaml file ?
Is that a best practices way to do it?

Thanks for any insight you can provide!
