Making configuration changes Making ansible variable changes
---------------------------- -------------------------------
Since the Train release, it is now possible to change any Ansible variable
via group vars overriding.
For example, to override the `chrony_role_action` variable used in
ansible-role-chrony for all the Compute roles, we would do the following::
cat > compute_params.yaml << EOF
parameter_defaults:
ComputeExtraGroupVars:
chrony_role_action: config
EOF
openstack overcloud deploy -e compute_params.yaml
Any variable can be set in that interface and it will take precedence if the
variable was already set somewhere else (e.g. in the composable service).
For any custom roles (defined via roles_data.yaml) the parameter name will
be RoleNameExtraGroupVars where RoleName is the name specified in
roles_data.yaml.
