I do this by having a per-environment inventory, each of which has its own group_vars/all. e.g.
production/hosts production/group_vars/all staging/hosts staging/group_vars/all dev/hosts dev/group_vars/all and so on. Then invoke the same play against each environment like : ansible-playbook -i production/ site.yml If you want you could have a file per environment with an [all:vars] section laid out like this: production_hosts staging_hosts dev_hosts called with ansible-playbook -i production_hosts site.yml and do away with your group_vars/all altogether.
