Step 11: Ansible Variables Review

Version 11537 — Review and configure Ansible variables in regional config files

Workflow
Ansible Variables in Regional Configs

The ansible: section is added to each regional variable file with connection and execution settings per region. Edit these via the Step 6 config editor.

Default Ansible Variables
{
  "azure_devops_org": "",
  "azure_devops_project": "MVM",
  "become": true,
  "become_method": "sudo",
  "check_mode": false,
  "connection_timeout": 30,
  "inventory_group": "{region}_hosts",
  "max_retries": 3,
  "ssh_user": "azureuser",
  "verbosity": 1
}
How It Works
  • Defaults come from configs/ansible_defaults.json
  • The {region} placeholder is replaced per-region
  • Variables are appended under an ansible: key in each vars_{type}_{region}.yaml
  • Use the Step 6 Config Editor to review and customize
