I like group_vars and host_vars. Using group_vars and host_vars, we have a lot of files for hosts. But, if we use group_vars, and vars_files, we can reduce drastically the number of files, in one or two file, one for credentials and one for other variables . vars_files are not described in best practice, why ? why have lot of host_vars, divided in files for hosts instead of one file included by vars_files ? with vars_files we can simplify the manitenance. So we aren't understanding the use of host_vars ?
