Anything in the vars directory of the role overrides previous versions of that variable in namespace. The idea here to follow is that the more explicit you get in scope, the more precedence it takes with command line ``-e`` extra vars always winning. Host and/or inventory variables can win over role defaults, but not explicit includes like the vars directory or an ``include_vars`` task. |
