limit/subset as variable

[DomaNitro]

Hi,

I have play that includes another play

apps.yml

- name: apps.yml | provision
  hosts: apps
  include: provision.yml


- name: apps.yml | common stuff
  hosts: apps
  roles:
    - do_common_stuff
 

provision.yml

- hosts: "{{subset_var}}"
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  pre_tasks:
     - name: do some stuff
       dosome_tasks
  roles:

   - { role: do_some_provisioning }

   - { role: do_more_stuff}
   - { role: maybe_also_dns}

   

The concept is that provision will be called from different plays for different groups and the provision play will take the subset of the parent play. 

If you have a solution that does not involve passing "-e" it would be great to share
