Hi Greg,

Ansible will look for group_vars adjacent to the playbook file (in your case within ceph-ansible/infrastructure-playbooks/), else it will fallback to looking for group_vars adjacent to the inventory file (in your case within /etc/ansible/).
Presumably your previous run of site.yml would have succeeded because both that playbook and the group_vars dir are adjacent (in root of ceph-ansible/ ).

To resolve your current issue I think you could just copy the rolling_update.yml playbook up one level to the root of the ceph-ansible dir.
Alternatively, you could create a symlink to make group_vars adjacent to your inventory file:
ln -s /<path-to-ceph-ansible>/group_vars /etc/ansible/group_vars

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_inventory.html#organizing-host-and-group-variables

Cheers,
Dylan
