Why not have a variable ntp_template and just set the group_var for each
group to be the template required.
Have two template files ntp1.j2 and ntp2.j2. (This a poor naming scheme,
you should name it related to the group)
[group1]
testops1 db-client1
[group2]
testops1 other-client
testops2 other-client
testops3 other-client
testops4 other-client
[group1:vars]
ntp_template: ntp1.j2
[group2:vars]
ntp_template: ntp2.j2
The play would look like this
- name:
template:
src: "{{ ntp_template }}"
dest: /etc/ntp.conf
notify: restart ntp
If you just want to change the ip of the server, you can just use a
variable in the template
server {{ ntp_server }} iburst
I find it better to limit conditionals(when) and better to rely on
different groups_vars or different inventories(/group_vars). It make it
much more readable and enables your code to be more flexible, re-usable.
