Yes, of course: you can define the variable anywhere, including in the hosts file. There are 2 differences though:
- the precedence <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#variable-precedence-where-should-i-put-a-variable> . - the way the variables are defined: the inventory file is not a yaml file (ini format). Refer to this post <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29856738/how-to-define-hash-dict-in-ansible-inventory-file> for how to define your dictionary(ies) in the hosts file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
