We deploy RPMs by modifying a file within group\_vars as follows. Is there a way to store the list of RPMs in consul and do a lookup and perform the installation? I want to get away from having to modify the file manually.

# group\_vars/deploy\_list\_php

php:

- { module: api, svn\_tag: ‘20150731r1\_6.37\_justified’ }
- { module: ui, svn\_tag: ‘20150804r1\_6.37\_justified’ }
- { module: ui-sp, svn\_tag: ‘20150719r1\_6.37\_justified’ }

# task

- name: Install PHP modules  
command: sudo rpm -Uvh {{ rpm\_repository }}/aria-{{ item.module }}-{{ item.svn\_tag }}.rpm --force  
with\_items: php  
register: php\_command\_result  
ignore\_errors: True
