Ansible/Splitting Hosts File

Strategy: create separate variable file for each host and each group

These variable files should be in YAML format

If your playbooks are in playbooks/, and your hosts file is in playbooks/hosts, then you would organize the directory as follows:

• put variables for the host california.example.com into the file playbooks/host_vars/california.example.com
• put variables for the production group in the file playbooks/group_vars/production
