Yes. If I give the arguments as below, then it would be normal variables or 
global variables. 

 ansible-playbook -i hosts xxxx.yaml --extra-vars 
'{"management_interface":{"int": "em0","ip": "192.168.56.3"}}'

But I'm looking for an option in ansible-playbook where we could pass the 
host variables specific to the particular host as follows.

 ansible-playbook -i hosts xxxx.yaml --extra-vars 
'{"hostvars['host1']":{"management_interface":{"int": "em0","ip": 
"192.168.56.3"}}}'

The content in hosts file is as below:

[vdc1-host1]
host1

[vdc1-host2]
host2

[vdc1:children]
vdc1-host1
vdc1-host2

[sites:children]
vdc1

[all:children]
sites

Please let me know if you have any queries.
