Are you thinking there is different "dir_list" for each group?
--limit awssxb would also need an awssbx vars file that has one list of
values for dir_list
--limt awssbx2 would also need an awssbx2 vars file that has a different
list of values for dir_list?
In your playbook you can reference vars file by variable names, so you
could use the group name
vars_files:
- general_var.yml
* - "{{ ansible_limit }}.yml"*
- patch_file.yml
