This module includes a yaml plugin for bolt. This allows you to compose multiple yaml files into a single bolt inventory file.
The resolve reference plugin can be used to load data from multiple files into a central bolt inventory file.
filepath: The path to the yaml file. Relative paths are resolved in relation to the Bolt project directory
For example, to break the inventory file into multiple files based on groups.
