Thankyou for taking time and looking into it..
you made a valid questions,
1. I am trying this approach so that I can pass {item} as jenkins
parameters. when dev fro item group is given it should print all servers
from that env.
2. group_vars/server1.yml I am trying to get the first part working so I
did not specify the output file here. ( will make a note next time not to
miss it)
also can you please elaborate more here "Your serverlist is a string with "{{
item }}" in it, but you're using it in a shell module invocation with no
loops, i.e. where "item" isn't defined."
I mean best possibilities to fulfill my need.
