Want to run this playbook for all the environments for the same playbook

Question

I have a doubt in Ansible, could some one help me to resolve.

Above is my playbook.yml

the script works fine when i pass the specific environment name

for example:

ansible-playbook script.yml -i dev

i want to run this playbook for all the environments for the same playbook.

how to do that?

Answer 1

Please to inform you that you can run all the environments using single playbook, Here we will provide you with an example and then you need to use that type of syntax, That example we are taking is an example where there are multiple roles(ansible-roles), and we are trying to run different roles in a single playbook.

​

Example:

sudo nano site.yml
---
- hosts: slave1
sudo: yes
roles:
- role_apache
---
- hosts: slave2
sudo: yes
roles:
   - role_nginx

The similar way you need to use your environments, instead of running the environments seperately add the commands in a single playbook, and try to run that particular playbook then you will get the desired output.
