The module Loads YAML/JSON variables dynamically from a file or directory, recursively, during task runtime. If loading a directory, the files are sorted alphabetically before being loaded.

Use Cases
Load Variables in a Playbook before Roles and Task Execution
- name: some play
hosts: localhost
pre_tasks:
- include_vars:
file: 'vars/some-vars.yaml' # Filename relative to the playbook root directory
roles:
- ...
tasks:
