Reduce duplicate/repeated steps in playbook

[Pawan Kumar]

Hi ,Team

Require your help to reduce repeated steps , in the following playbook ,3 roles are common ,but 2 roles(  permission.yml & reload_base_service.yml)  variable value is different

 - hosts: masters

  gather_facts: yes
  vars:
    - owner: "roks"
    - mode: "0644"
    - base_service: "mot-idm"
  tasks:
    - include_role:
        name: motors
        tasks_from: "{{ item }}"
      with_items:
        - permission.yml
        - reload_base_service.yml
        - restart_component.yaml

- hosts: organization
  gather_facts: yes
  vars:
    - owner: "taxi"
    - mode: "0755"
    - base_service: "mzee-org"
  tasks:
    - include_role:
        name: motors
        tasks_from: "{{ item }}"
      with_items:
        - permission.yml
        - reload_base_service.yml
        - restart_component.yaml

- hosts: doxy
  gather_facts: yes
  vars:
    - owner: "matter"
    - mode: "0644"
    - base_service: "rater-x"
  tasks:
    - include_role:
        name: motors
        tasks_from: "{{ item }}"
      with_items:
        - permission.yml
        - reload_base_service.yml

        - restart_component.yaml

Thanks

Yes check if this logic works

1. Create a one group in inventory  with all child group masters, organization and doxy

So that you can run the restart role

2. Set the variables on group level masters, organization and doxy

So that your role will automatically  read this variables while executing 

So it will be only two plays 

Remember running role sequence  is in your hand

Hi Pawan, Gajendra,

You can use Anchors in YAML, like
