In inventory I have a, b and c. Now I want to create user x on a delete
file y from b and create file z on c. This is not part of role but let's
say users's requirement. To do so I can create a role called custom which
contains
---
- include: {{ inventory_hostname }}.yml
and then create a.yml, b.yml and c.yml with respective tasks.
This way all my changes are "documented" in my ansible git repo and I don't
have to customize systems outside the scope of roles.
