On any given day I might be accessing different aws systems with different

I'm looking for a way to basically templatize (new word?) the hosts file.

It's called dynamic inventory


Example:
this_track=track4
this_subnet=239

[group1]

ax.$this_track$.ecm ansible_host=10.$this_subnet$.1.5
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/home/me/.ssh/me_rsa
ca.$this_track$.ecm ansible_host=10.$this_subnet$.1.6
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/home/me/.ssh/me_rsa

[group2]

if.$this_track$.ecm ansible_host=10.$this_subnet$.1.7
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/home/me/.ssh/me_rsa
ui.$this_track$.ecm ansible_host=10.$this_subnet$.1.8
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/home/me/.ssh/me_rsa


Ideally I would set the this_track variable at the top of the playbook
file, but I'd be OK with something like this.

With a custom script you can do all this and more.
