Hi, Brian.
Yes, I understand about the playbook running one or more plays. What I
didn't understand (and this is another of my embarrassing mistakes) is that
I shouldn't have identified any servers or groups when running the
playbook, as in "ansible-playbook -l serversA playbook.yml" but, rather,
run it thusly, "ansible-playbook playbook.yml". That, of course, let's
Ansible apply the plays to the servers or groups that are specified in the
plays. Arrgh. Hope I'm not using up all of my goodwill on the list.
