== Default /etc/ansible/hosts in Ubuntu ==
 
<pre>
 
cat /etc/ansible/hosts
 
# This is the default ansible 'hosts' file.
 
#
 
# It should live in /etc/ansible/hosts
 
#
 
#  - Comments begin with the '#' character
 
#  - Blank lines are ignored
 
#  - Groups of hosts are delimited by [header] elements
 
#  - You can enter hostnames or ip addresses
 
#  - A hostname/ip can be a member of multiple groups
 
 
 
# Ex 1: Ungrouped hosts, specify before any group headers.
 
 
 
#green.example.com
 
#blue.example.com
 
#192.168.100.1
 
#192.168.100.10
 
 
 
# Ex 2: A collection of hosts belonging to the 'webservers' group
 
 
 
#[webservers]
 
#alpha.example.org
 
#beta.example.org
 
#192.168.1.100
 
#192.168.1.110
 
 
 
# If you have multiple hosts following a pattern you can specify
 
# them like this:
 
 
 
#www[001:006].example.com
 
 
 
# Ex 3: A collection of database servers in the 'dbservers' group
 
 
 
#[dbservers]
 
#
 
#db01.intranet.mydomain.net
 
#db02.intranet.mydomain.net
 
#10.25.1.56
 
#10.25.1.57
 
 
 
# Here's another example of host ranges, this time there are no
 
# leading 0s:
 
 
 
#db-[99:101]-node.example.com
