Thanks, Michael! But can I do the following?
$ cat site.yml
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
# Set up OS-specific groups
- group_by:
key=os-{{ansible_distribution}}-{{ansible_distribution_version}}
- hosts: "{{ distro | default('all') }}"
include:
- dept1-servers.yml
- dept2-servers.yml
- base-static-setup.yml
Rather not change the individual playbooks if I can help it.
Thanks,
Will
