Same directory structure needs to be followed in Jenkins jobs aswell. ex: Build/Core/jobname, Artifcatupload/Core/jobname, Deploy/dev/Core/jobname.

common.yml : Any variables which needs to be overriden or if its a private variable we need update this variables in common.yml. ex: ingress ip, env name, domain name etc

secret.yml: secrets variables are updated in this file. ex: storage keys, api keys, postgress pasword, registry secrets etc. secrets.yml is encrypted with ansible vault. below are the command to edit, encrypt, decrypt vault file.

ansible-vault <edit/encrypt/decrypt> ansible/inventory/dev/KnowledgePlatform/secrets.yml --vault-password-file <vault-password-file>
