notes:
|
||||
- This module bypasses the play host loop and only runs once for all the hosts in the play, if you need it
|
||||
to iterate use a with-loop construct.
|
||||
to iterate use a C(loop) construct. If you need to dynamically add all hosts targeted by a playbook for
|
||||
later use, the C(group_by) module is potentially a better choice.
|
||||
- The alias C(host) of the parameter C(name) is only available on Ansible 2.4 and newer.
|
||||
- Since Ansible 2.4, the C(inventory_dir) variable is now set to C(None) instead of the 'global inventory source',
|
||||
because you can now have multiple sources. An example was added that shows how to partially restore the previous behaviour.
