Strategies
In 2.0 we added a new way to control play execution,
strategy, by default plays will still run as they used to,
with what we call the linear strategy. 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 implelented via a new type of plugin, this means that in the future new execution types can be added, either locally by users or to Ansible itself by a code contribution.
