# infra-run/ansible/inventory/host_vars This folder is intended for host-specific Ansible variables. It complements `group_vars` by capturing node-level differences that should not be shared across an entire inventory group. ## Diagram ```mermaid flowchart TD A["host_vars"] --> B["Host A overrides"] A --> C["Host B overrides"] A --> D["Per-node secrets or tuning"] ``` ## Notes - Use this area when operational differences are specific to one server. - The directory is intentionally empty in the sanitized portfolio state.
