Strategies
Strategies are a way to control play execution. By default, plays run
with a linear strategy, in which all hosts will run each
task before any host starts the next task, using the number of forks
(default 5) to parallelize.
The serial directive can 'batch' this behaviour to a
subset of the hosts, which then run to completion of the play before the
next 'batch' starts.
A second strategy ships with Ansible - free
- which allows each host to run until the end of the play as fast as it
can.:
- hosts: all
strategy: free
tasks:
...Strategy Plugins
The strategies are implemented as plugins. In the future, new execution strategies can be added, either locally by users or to Ansible itself by a code contribution.
One example is debug strategy. See playbooks_debugger for
details.
