   b. With consul server on same host:

   ansible-playbook playbooks/auto_vault_server_consul_server.yml Note, this will automatically install a consul node and it will be joined to the cluster

secrets = vault + consul

When deploying vault server to consul server mapping of inventory groups is as follows:

secrets=vault=consul
