Hi,

I have play that includes another play

apps.yml
`

  • name: apps.yml | provision
    hosts: apps
    include: provision.yml

  • name: apps.yml | common stuff
    hosts: apps
    roles:

  • do_common_stuff

`
provision.yml

`

  • hosts: “{{subset_var}}”
    connection: local
    gather_facts: no
    pre_tasks:

  • name: do some stuff
    dosome_tasks
    roles:

  • { role: do_some_provisioning }

  • { role: do_more_stuff}

  • { role: maybe_also_dns}

`

The concept is that provision will be called from different plays for different groups and the provision play will take the subset of the parent play.

If you have a solution that does not involve passing “-e” it would be great to share
