By default, Ansible will try to manage all of the machines referenced in a play in parallel. For a rolling update use case, you can define how many hosts Ansible should manage at a single time by using the ``serial`` keyword::
- name: test play
hosts: webservers
serial: 3
serial: 2
gather_facts: False
tasks:
- name: task one
comand: hostname
- name: task two
command: hostname
In the above example, if we had 4 hosts in the group 'webservers', 2
would complete the play completely before moving on to the next 2 hosts::
PLAY [webservers] ****************************************
TASK [task one] ******************************************
changed: [web2]
changed: [web1]
TASK [task two] ******************************************
changed: [web1]
changed: [web2]
PLAY [webservers] ****************************************
TASK [task one] ******************************************
changed: [web3]
changed: [web4]
TASK [task two] ******************************************
changed: [web3]
changed: [web4]
PLAY RECAP ***********************************************
web1 : ok=2 changed=2 unreachable=0 failed=0
web2 : ok=2 changed=2 unreachable=0 failed=0
web3 : ok=2 changed=2 unreachable=0 failed=0
web4 : ok=2 changed=2 unreachable=0 failed=0
In the above example, if we had 100 hosts, 3 hosts in the group 'webservers'
would complete the play completely before moving on to the next 3 hosts.
The ``serial`` keyword can also be specified as a percentage, which will be applied to the total number of hosts in a
play, in order to determine the number of hosts per pass::
