Hello list,

I anticipate provisioning 10-20 VMs using Ansible, then assigning floating 
IPs to each, then waiting for SSH to become available for each VM. I would 
like to do this in parallel instead of serially. Specifically:


   - Start the VMs, but don't block
   - Assign the IPs, but don't block
   - Wait on SSH until all VMs respond


I saw the nova_compute "wait: 'no'" option, but when I use it I get a stack 
trace:

failed: [localhost] => (item=1) => {"failed": true, "item": 1, "parsed": 
> false}
> invalid output was: Traceback (most recent call last):

Perhaps I'm using it incorrectly:

- name: Launch cluster VM on Openstack
>   nova_compute:
>     name: "{{ os_username }}_cluster1"
>     state: present
>     login_username: "{{ os_username }}"
>     login_tenant_name: "{{ os_tenant }}"
>     login_password: "{{ os_password }}"
>     image_id: "{{ os_image_id }}"
>     key_name: "{{ os_username }}_controller_key"
>     wait: "no"
>     flavor_id: "{{ os_flavor_id }}"
>     auth_url: "{{ os_url }}"
>     user_data: "#cloud-config\nmanage_etc_hosts: true"
>


So, two questions:


   1. Am I using "wait" correctly?
   2. Should I use "wait" to get to my desired parallel VM launch, as 
   described above, or should I use something else, e.g. "async"?


Thanks,

-Kurt
