Hello - I have a use case where I have two of the same apps installed on one server in a shared Prod-Like/Disaster Recovery (PL/DR) environment. I use Ansible to automate application configuration tasks for each app on the server. As of right now, this isn't working for PL/DR because Ansible has no way to determine which host_vars are required. Does it load PL or does it load DR?
I did some searching and found Ansible Best Practices - Alternative Directory Layout <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_best_practices.html#alternative-directory-layout>. It looks like this might solve my problem. It splits out a "production" and "staging" directory. Each has their own host, group, and inventory files. My questions are are around how this works? What is the "glue" such that Ansible knows how to find certain files? In their example layout, how does the playbook "site.yml" know to load the 'production' inventory versus the 'staging' inventory? Is it all hard coded user facts? Does it assume we specify '-i' each time? Any info, other examples, or other potential solves for this would be much appreciated.
