You forgot to include condition in the tasks, like for example: - name: Template to 1st server.xml template: src=server.xml.j2 dest=/var/opt/tomcat_1/conf/server.xml owner=tomcat7 group=nogroup mode=0600 when: port == "5000" - name: Template to 2nd server.xml template: src=server.xml.j2 dest=/var/opt/tomcat_2/conf/server.xml owner=tomcat7 group=nogroup mode=0600 when: port == "5001"
otherwise each will get executed on each run, of course.
