>From https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/apt_module.html: - apt: upgrade=dist update_cache=yes upgrade: If yes or safe, performs an aptitude safe-upgrade. If full, performs an aptitude full-upgrade. If dist, performs an apt-get dist-upgrade. Note: This does not upgrade a specific package, use state=latest for that. So I would say depending on what option you choose, all installed packages on your servers would be upgrade to the latest version with upgrade=full or maybe upgrade=safe. Keep in mind that this would not install the same set of packages on your servers, as only the one where e.g. apache is installed are receiving updates for apache. Idempotency in this case means that you can run this command multiple times and (if no updates are released in the meantime and you refresh the cache) your systems should be up to date no matter even after the first time.
