<p>Ansible works against multiple systems in your infrastructure at the
same time. It does this by selecting portions of systems listed in Ansible&#8217;s inventory file,
which defaults to /etc/ansible/hosts, and looks like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">mail</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">com</span>
<span class="p">[</span><span class="n">webservers</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="n">foo</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">com</span>
<span class="n">bar</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">com</span>
<span class="p">[</span><span class="n">dbservers</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="n">one</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">com</span>

<div class="section" id="targetting-all-systems">
<h2>Targetting All Systems<a class="headerlink" href="#targetting-all-systems" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The pattern &#8216;all&#8217; or &#8216;*&#8217; targets all systems in the inventory file.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="specific-hosts">
<h2>Specific Hosts<a class="headerlink" href="#specific-hosts" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>It is possible to address specific hosts:</p>
<blockquote>
<div>one.example.com
one.example.com:two.example.com</div></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="section" id="groups">
<h2>Groups<a class="headerlink" href="#groups" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The following patterns address one or more groups:</p>
<blockquote>
<div>webservers
webservers:dbservers</div></blockquote>
<p>There is also a magic group &#8216;ungrouped&#8217; which selects systems not in a group.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="wildcards">
<h2>Wildcards<a class="headerlink" href="#wildcards" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Individual hosts, but not groups, can also be referenced using wildcards:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><a href="#id1"><span class="problematic" id="id2">*</span></a>.example.com
<a href="#id3"><span class="problematic" id="id4">*</span></a>.com</div></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="section" id="mixing-things-up">
<h2>Mixing Things Up<a class="headerlink" href="#mixing-things-up" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Specific hosts, wildcards, and groups can all be mixed in the same pattern</p>
<blockquote>
<div>one*.com:dbservers</div></blockquote>
<p>It is not possible to target a host not in the inventory file.</p>
