Comment (by skelly):

 Another thing that is nice to have: a staging environment. It looks like
 nested jails are possible since 8.0 so would not necessarily need a VM to
 host staging.

 Couple of ways to do this in ansible.
 1. Single playbook, multiple segregated inventories. Here, each
 environment gets its own inventory (e.g. inventory/production,
 inventory/staging) and selection of the inventory determines destination.
 2. Multiple playbooks, single inventory. This is convenient from a
 variables point of view. The playbooks would be largely the same, possibly
 using a variable to choose the destination. Keeping duplication (or worse,
 differences) minimized between the two can be simplified by including
 tasks or using roles.
