# it is possible to ask for variables from the user at the start
# of a playbook run, for example, as part of a release script.
- hosts: all
user: root
# regular variables are a dictionary of keys and values
vars:
this_is_a_regular_var: 'moo'
so_is_this: 'quack'
# prompted variables are a list of variable names and a description
# that will be presented to the user.
#
# alternatively, they can ALSO be passed in from the outside:
# ansible-playbook foo.yml --extra-vars="foo=100 bar=101"
# or through external inventory scripts (see online API docs)
vars_prompt:
release_version: "product release version"
tasks:
# this is just a simple example to show that vars_prompt works, but
# you might ask for a tag to use with the git module or perhaps
# a package version to use with the yum module.
- name: imagine this did something interesting with $release_version
action: shell echo foo >> /tmp/$release_version-$alpha
