As an advanced use-case, you can create *directories* named after your groups or hosts, and
Ansible will read all the files in these directories. An example with the 'raleigh' group::
/etc/ansible/group_vars/raleigh/db_settings

available to them. This can be very useful to keep your variables organized when a single
file starts to be too big, or when you want to use :doc:`Ansible Vault<playbooks_vault>` on a part of a group's
