Hi all! Up until now, I've provisioned machines in EC2 in two stages - the first set of playbooks launch the machine and tag it as necessary, and then a second set of playbooks does the proper provisioning, using group_vars identified automatically according to the tag_NAME_VALUE convention to dictate how the plays are run.
I've just changed this process so the launching and configuration happens all in the same set of playbooks, i.e. there's no break in between these playbooks running. With this done, it seems the group vars matching the new instance's tags are not applied automatically - possibly because these are evaluated by the dynamic inventory script when the overarching play begins, and not as new items enter the inventory? After reading around, I believe that were I to manually add the instance into groups (named after each of its tags) after launch, the matching group_vars would be loaded and applied (I've tried and can't get this to work, though). In any case that's not an obvious way to do it - so I was hoping someone could suggest an alternative? Is there a way to force a reload of group vars based on an updated dynamic inventory during a play? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
