Hi! I pretty new to ansible and I have tried to read the docs on how to best differentiate configurations.
Everything seems very clean if every server have a _very_ specific purpose like "dbserver" or something. But Im having a hard time to figure this out in my pretty small environment of 10 machines where the servers have several roles. *One example could be my NTP setup:* I have ~10 server managed by ansible. Half of them live in aws ec2 and half in my home. Now, I would like to configure NTP on all these servers in a sensible and effective way. The amazon servers I would like to have different "ntp servers" for different availability zones or sites. Locally I have one GPS enabled NTP server which is the "master". - I want this "master" to peer with one or two other ntp-servers at home. - This means I need different configs for every peer and aslo the master. I also have several machines that would just just use the "master" and its peers as servers. This gives me 7-10 different NTP configurations and Im not sure how to use roles, groups, variables and templates to differentiate these configs. I would be very happy to receive suggestions on how to manage this kind of setup with ansible.
