Vars Plugins
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
They inject additional variable data into ansible runs that did not come from an inventory source, playbook, or command line.
|
|
The :doc:`host_group_vars <vars/host_group_vars>` plugin shipped with Ansible provides reading variables from :ref:`host_vars` and :ref:`group_vars`.
