You define what you need.
Settle on a data structure that suits your use case.
It all depends on how different each instance is.
Is there no common pattern?
You can supply defaults in the task, and then optionally have them in your

instances:
- name: foo
type: t4g.nano
ip: 10.1.1.1
- name: bar
ip: 10.1.2.3
'etc etc
