Sounds like group vars would help you out. Make sure you have 3 inventory files, one for each environment. In each one create a parent group (staging, prod or local). In your group_vars dir below your inventory, have a staging, prod, and local file that would contain the vars for that are specific or need to be overridden. For variable defaults, keep them in group_vars/all.
example inventory file: [myservers] server1 server2 server3 [prod:children] myservers ex: inventory/ ├── group_vars │ ├── all │ ├── local │ ├── prod │ └── staging ├── local ├── prod └── staging On Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 1:50 PM, James Goodhouse <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey All, > > I currently have three separate inventory files to handle staging, > production, and local installs for my project.
