It is a common pattern to build different fabrics as separate Ansible inventories.
An example could be:

Your Makefile could contain make targets like:
.PHONY: build-dc build-dc: ## Build DC inventory <tab>ansible-playbook playbooks/build.yml -i DATA_CENTER/inventory.yml
All this is just some example I made up for this answer, but we will work on an example for all this as time allows.
