# This is the default ansible 'hosts' file.
 #
 # It should live in /etc/ansible/hosts
 #
 #   - Comments begin with the '#' character
 #   - Blank lines are ignored

 #   - Top level entries are assumed to be groups, start with 'all' to have a full hierarchy

 #   - Hosts must be specified in a group's hosts:
 #     and they must be a key (: terminated)
 #   - groups can have children, hosts and vars keys

 #   - Anything defined under a host is assumed to be a var
 #   - You can enter hostnames or IP addresses
 #   - A hostname/IP can be a member of multiple groups

 # Ex 1: Ungrouped hosts, put them in 'all' or 'ungrouped' group

 ##all:

 ##  hosts:
 ##      green.example.com:
 ##          ansible_ssh_host: 191.168.100.32

 ##          anyvariable: value

 ##      blue.example.com:
 ##      192.168.100.1:
 ##      192.168.100.10:
 
 # Ex 2: A collection of hosts belonging to the 'webservers' group

 ##  children:
 ##    webservers:
 ##      hosts:
 ##        alpha.example.org:

 # Ex 3: You can create hosts using ranges and add children groups and vars to a group

 # The child group can define anything you would normally add to a group

 ##    testing:
 ##      hosts:
 ##        www[001:006].example.com:
 ##      vars:
 ##        testing1: value1
 ##      children:
 ##        webservers:
 ##            hosts:
 ##                beta.example.org:
 
 # Ex 4: all vars

 # keeping within 'all' group you can define common 'all' vars here with lowest precedence

 ##  vars:

 ##      commontoall: thisvar
