Hi Tom,
I suspected that much. My questions are:
- Where are these coming from? I do not find documented that if you make a
section [webservers] in your inventory, that automagically an array
"groups[]" is created that has "webservers" as a member. Nor that there is
such a thing as inventory_hostname. In my inventory file I know I can
specify ungrouped hosts and named groups of hosts: but I find no references
to the variable inventory_hostname. From the way it is used in the
examples I gather it is the current hostname that ansible is working on
plucked from the inventory.
- Also these variables appear to be used differently as other variables,
i.e. not with "{{ }}", so they are really odd. What syntax do we need to
use for which items?
