Delegating tasks
----------------
If you want to perform a task on one host with reference to other hosts, use the 'delegate_to' keyword on a task. This is ideal for managing nodes in a load balanced pool or for controlling outage windows. You can use delegation with the :ref:`serial <rolling_update_batch_size>` keyword to control the number of hosts executing at one time::

The first and third tasks in this play run on 127.0.0.1, which is the machine running Ansible. There is also a shorthand syntax that you can use on a per-task basis: 'local_action'. Here is the same playbook as above, but using the shorthand syntax for delegating to 127.0.0.1::

Delegating facts
----------------
Delegating Ansible tasks is like delegating tasks in the real world - your groceries belong to you, even if someone else delivers them to your home. Similarly, any facts gathered by a delegated task are assigned by default to the `inventory_hostname` (the current host), not to the host which produced the facts (the delegated to host). To assign gathered facts to the delegated host instead of the current host, set `delegate_facts` to `True`::

- name: Gather facts from db servers
ansible.builtin.setup:
delegate_to: "{{ item }}"
delegate_facts: true
loop: "{{ groups['dbservers'] }}"
This task gathers facts for the machines in the dbservers group and assigns the facts to those machines, even though the play targets the app_servers group. This way you can lookup `hostvars['dbhost1']['ansible_default_ipv4']['address']` even though dbservers were not part of the play, or left out by using `--limit`.

It may be useful to use a playbook locally on a remote host, rather than by connecting over SSH. This can be useful for assuring the configuration of a system by putting a playbook in a crontab. This may also be used
to run a playbook inside an OS installer, such as an Anaconda kickstart.
To run an entire playbook locally, just set the "hosts:" line to "hosts: 127.0.0.1" and then run the playbook like so::
