```yaml
rgw_instances:
- instance_name: rgw1
+ rgw_zonemaster: true
+ rgw_zonesecondary: false
+ rgw_zonegroupmaster: true
rgw_realm: usa
rgw_zonegroup: alaska
rgw_zone: juneau

Here is an example of a host_vars for a host (ex: rgw-001 in the examples) containing 2 rgw_instances:
```yaml
-rgw_zonemaster: true
-rgw_zonesecondary: false
-rgw_zonegroupmaster: true
-rgw_multisite_proto: http
rgw_instances:
- instance_name: rgw1
+ rgw_zonemaster: true
+ rgw_zonesecondary: false
+ rgw_zonegroupmaster: true
rgw_realm: usa
rgw_zonegroup: alaska
rgw_zone: juneau
radosgw_address: "{{ _radosgw_address }}"
radosgw_frontend_port: 8080
+ rgw_multisite_proto: http
rgw_zone_user: edward.lewis
rgw_zone_user_display_name: "Edward Lewis"
system_access_key: yu17wkvAx3B8Wyn08XoF
system_secret_key: 5YZfaSUPqxSNIkZQQA3lBZ495hnIV6k2HAz710BY
- instance_name: rgw2
+ rgw_zonemaster: true
+ rgw_zonesecondary: false
+ rgw_zonegroupmaster: true
rgw_realm: france
rgw_zonegroup: idf
rgw_zone: paris
radosgw_address: "{{ _radosgw_address }}"
radosgw_frontend_port: 8081
+ rgw_multisite_proto: http
rgw_zone_user: jacques.chirac
rgw_zone_user_display_name: "Jacques Chirac"
system_access_key: P9Eb6S8XNyo4dtZZUUMy
This example starts up 2 rgws on host rgw-001. `rgw1` is configured to be in realm usa and `rgw2` is configured to be in realm france.
-The variables `rgw_zonemaster`, `rgw_zonesecondary`, `rgw_zonegroupmaster`, `rgw_multisite_proto` cannot be set in an item of rgw_instances. All of these variables must be set in group_vars/ or host_vars/.
+**Note:** The old format of declaring `rgw_zonemaster`, `rgw_zonesecondary`, `rgw_zonegroupmaster`, `rgw_multisite_proto` outside of `rgw_instances` still works but declaring the values at the instance level (as seen above) is preferred.
### Setting rgw_instances for a host in a secondary zone
Here is an example of a host_vars for a host containing 2 rgw_instances in a secondary zone:
```yaml
-rgw_zonemaster: false
-rgw_zonesecondary: true
-rgw_zonegroupmaster: true
-rgw_multisite_proto: "http"
rgw_instances:
- instance_name: rgw3
+ rgw_zonemaster: false
+ rgw_zonesecondary: true
+ rgw_zonegroupmaster: true
rgw_realm: usa
rgw_zonegroup: alaska
rgw_zone: fairbanks
radosgw_address: "{{ _radosgw_address }}"
radosgw_frontend_port: 8080
+ rgw_multisite_proto: "http"
rgw_zone_user: edward.lewis
rgw_zone_user_display_name: "Edward Lewis"
system_access_key: yu17wkvAx3B8Wyn08XoF
system_secret_key: 5YZfaSUPqxSNIkZQQA3lBZ495hnIV6k2HAz710BY
endpoint: https://rgw-001-hostname:8080
- instance_name: rgw4
+ rgw_zonemaster: false
+ rgw_zonesecondary: true
+ rgw_zonegroupmaster: true
rgw_realm: france
rgw_zonegroup: idf
rgw_zone: versailles
radosgw_address: "{{ _radosgw_address }}"
radosgw_frontend_port: 8081
+ rgw_multisite_proto: "http"
rgw_zone_user: jacques.chirac
rgw_zone_user_display_name: "Jacques Chirac"
system_access_key: P9Eb6S8XNyo4dtZZUUMy
This example starts up 2 rgws on the host that will pull the realm from the rgws on rgw-001 above. `rgw3` is pulling from the rgw endpoint in realm usa in the master zone example above (instance name rgw1). `rgw4` is pulling from the rgw endpoint in realm france in the master zone example above (instance name rgw2).
-Just like the example on the master zone, the variables `rgw_zonemaster`, `rgw_zonesecondary`, `rgw_zonegroupmaster`, `rgw_multisite_proto` cannot be set in an item of rgw_instances. All of these variables must be set in group_vars/ or host_vars/.
+**Note:** The old format of declaring `rgw_zonemaster`, `rgw_zonesecondary`, `rgw_zonegroupmaster`, `rgw_multisite_proto` outside of `rgw_instances` still works but declaring the values at the instance level (as seen above) is preferred.
### Conclusion
`rgw_instances` can be used in host_vars for multisite deployments like scenarios 2 and 3
