I'm still missing the syntax and file naming for this. First off, can I create multiple files in group_vars and have them all read? If so, what are the best naming conventions. Can I have names:
host1.yml host2.yml etc. with a separate file for each host? And, if so, what does the content of the file look like? I've tried this in my host1.yml file: [host1] host.domain [host1:vars] tag: myTag but that does not work. What combination will actually work right?
