Have you considered conditional includes
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_conditionals.html#applying-when-to-roles-and-includes>?
Along with include_vars
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/include_vars_module.html#include-vars-load-variables-from-files-dynamically-within-a-task>
I think you should be able to achieve the desired effect.
Something like the below:
---
- name: include_vars example
hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Debug hostname.
debug:
var: inventory_hostname
# Different filenames with the same variables *should* override the
variables for each instance of playbook execution.
# But precedence is tricky and I've had trouble getting things like
this to work in the past, so ymmv.
- name: Include variables based on hostname.
include_vars: "vars/{{ inventory_hostname }}.yml"
- name: Print site name and port number.
debug:
msg: "My site {{ site_name }} is running on port {{ port_number }}."
...
# vim: ft=ansible:
Sorry if the formatting is a little wonky the code widget is a little weird
sometimes.
Hope this helps, best of luck.
