# file: site.yml
# Set up groups automatically for OS
- include: group.yml
# Perform a basic server configuration
- include: checklist.yml
The group.yml looks like this...
---
# file: group.yml
- hosts: all
gather_facts: true
tasks:
- group_by: key={{ ansible_os_family }}
- group_by: key={{ ansible_product_name.split()[0] }}
Now I can do things like have playbooks like this...
---
- hosts: RedHat
gather_facts: false
roles:
- common
- redhat
If you can split tasks into groups then you can work out how to split your
servers into similar groups and you're set.
I hope that this helps,
Adam
