Hello,

I would like to run one template to be able to install mutliple similar applications with different components in different environments.  
for exemple:

- application1 has a batch and a web module that runs on 2 differents hosts in each environment (dev/tst/acc/prd)
- application2 also has a batch and a web module that runs on 4 different hosts in each environment (dev/tst/acc/prd)

I’ve created a job template in AWX that request 2 extra\_vars to install any application: app\_name & env.  
the job calls a playbook that will take action on batch and other actions on web servers.

I would find very convenient to use a dynamic inventory directly in the template so that at job runtime it would call my inventory script with the 2 args (app + env)  
it would then return a very basic json with my

{  
“batch”: [  
“server1.domain”  
],  
“web”: [  
“server2.domain”  
]  
}

Or do you see any other mechanism to be able to run the same template to do so ?  
if you need more info, don’t hesitate.

Brgds
