Iterating over two tasks ?

[Vikas Kumar]

Hello All,

I have two tasks and few yaml files. This is obviously not working as all the files (/etc/nginx/myconfigs/{ab01a,ab01b,ab,www}) have variables from 'www.yml', which is the last item in the iteration. 

- include_vars: site_{{ item }}.yml
  with_items: site_files

- name: Create nginx files in /etc/nginx/myconfigs
  template: src=nginx_site.d_conf.j2 dest=/etc/nginx/myconfigs/{{ item }}.conf
  with_items: site_files

These are the items in 'site_files' variable.

site_files:
 - ab01a
 - ab01b
 - ab
 - www

These are the yaml files in which I have few variables which I am substituting in the jinja2 template file (nginx_site.d_conf.j2).

ab01a.yml
ab01b.yml
ab.yml
www.yml

Please help me to tackle this. I am looking out for a way to dynamically include variables from Yaml files and substitute those in template action.

I can do this by including one variable file and a template action at a time, but I am sure there would be a better way to handle this.

Regards,

Vikas
