 Tip: In Ansible 1.2 or later the group_vars/ and host_vars/ directories can exist in either

-directory will be loaded second.
+directory will override variables set in the inventory directory.
 
 Tip: Keeping your inventory file and variables in a git repo (or other version control)
 is an excellent way to track changes to your inventory and host variables.
