I use a different approach,
root
├── inventory
│ |-- dev
│ │-- vagrant
│ │-- preprod
│ └── production
|
└── group_vars
|
|-- all.yaml
|-- dev/
| |-- secrets.yaml
|
|-- vagrant/
| |-- secrets.yaml
|
|-- preprod/
| |-- secrets.yaml
|
|-- production/
|-- secrets.yaml
where my group_vars/all.yaml contains all my definitions for every
environment, I keep it DRY by using lots of yaml anchors/aliases.
https://github.com/Azulinho/ansible-jenkins-showcase/blob/master/group_vars/all.yaml#L686
And in my inventory files, I set a variable 'deploy_env'
https://github.com/Azulinho/ansible-jenkins-showcase/blob/master/vagrant
I consume that 'deploy_env' variable (typically matches my inventory file)
at the end of my group_vars/all.yaml file.
https://github.com/Azulinho/ansible-jenkins-showcase/blob/master/group_vars/all.yaml#L713
there are a gazillion ways of doing it, this one works well for me.
