Module defaults groups

[markgraf]

SUMMARY

As it is now, there are 54 modules that all want

• user
• password
• server-url

Repeating those same informations over and over again with all the modules you use is lots of redundant work.
Creating "module defaults" for each of them is equally redundant.

FEATURE REQUEST

It would be nice to have Module defaults groups in order to define that block ONCE for an entire playbook like this:

# example_play.yml
- hosts: localhost
  module_defaults:
    group/foreman:
      name: myNameIs
      password: TopS3cr3t
      server_url: foreman.at.home

These already exist for aws, azure, gcp, etc..., so I guess most of the needed code should already exist?

This is currently not possible for collections: ansible/ansible#72006
But yes, we also really want to have that feature :)

Good to know. Thanks for the update! Waiting for ansible/ansible#72006 then...

Seems this is finally coming in core 2.12: ansible/community#546 (comment)
