Hi all,
Hi Alexandros,
I am trying to define a couple of variables in the inventory file for a specific group and I do something like the following in the inventory:
(...) [compute] comp[1:5]
[compute:vars] neutron_external_interface=bond0.100, bond0.101 neutron_bridge_name=br-ex,br-ex2
(...)
This is a valid ansible setup, however with kolla-ansible these variables are totally ignored. Any suggestion ?
That's interesting. Kolla Ansible does not do any magic at this level so it's basically up to Ansible. Perhaps there is a slight quirk somewhere. Maybe you have compute:vars more than once? And override yourself? Group vars work for me. It's good practice to use them. You might also be interested in [1] where it shows how to organise the vars in yaml files per group.
