Hello Ansible users!
I am looking for suggestions for my particular use case, for which I could not find many other solution online. Let's say my web application runs on 2 servers: 1 web-server + 1 db server. To deploy each one of my servers, I have a playbook like one of the followings. web_server.yml --- - hosts: web_server roles: - network - apache - firewall db_server.yml --- - hosts: db_server roles: - network - mysql - firewall Each "type" of server has a different set of roles, and I have just one server per type. I am trying to write a main.yml that deploys web_server and db_server in parallel. If I use "include" in main.yml, the playbooks are executed in a sequence. The only way I found to run everything in parallel is to use roles with whens, like main.yml --- - hosts: all strategy: free roles: - network - role: mysql when: inventory_hostname in groups.db_server - role: apache when: inventory_hostname in groups.web_server - firewall The only cons of this approach is that with 10 different server types and 20 different roles, the playbook is not that readable. Are there better ways to solve this use case? Many thanks, Marco -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
