"Changing the setting to random and the fork value to 40 gives me a reasonable chance that all 40 forks will be more or less equally distributed. With more than 40 blades, it's a good bet only one fork per blade"
So this seems to imply you have more than one VM running on a given blade (and not that you are talking about a blade chassis). Ok I don't think it's appropriate for ansible to resolve to random chance to avoid too much activity on a device, and I'm not sure what the best way to express that in your configuration would be. I'm interested in the discussion but don't believe we're ready for a feature proposal just yet - what you propose could still fail - what you really seem to want is a way to say "only target one of these set of machines at a time" inside some sort of micro groups. Honestly, I'm really curious why your blade can't handle the load and should explore that first.
