yes, with_items will run it sequentially unless you use async.
What if I want to spin up 5 or 10 VMs at once, can that be done ? Or
should I just plan on running 5 or 10 separate ansible-playlist
commands at
once to deploy multiple VMs at once?
If you specify the new host in a playbook and do delegate_to: localhost
on the create vm task they will run in parallel.
Default forks is at 5 so it will run 5 at a time unless you change forks
so a higher value.
