<p>Configuration entries listed above for each entry type (Ansible variable, environment variable, and so on) have a low to high priority order.
For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
The entry types are also ordered by precedence from low to high priority order.
For example, an ansible.cfg entry (further up in the list) is overwritten by an Ansible variable (further down in the list).</p>
