Hi Folks,
I am looking for a simple way to have Ansible perform the following 
automation for me:

   1. From a set of N hosts, find out which host has the lowest CPU usage 
   at the moment
   2. Run a command on *only that host*.

This pattern could be extended to a general case of:

Run a command on a subset of hosts matching a condition which is not static.


This could apply for the following types of use cases:

   - Find out which hosts are running low on disk space, and only expand 
   disk space on the hosts which are running low
   - Find out which hosts are lacking a particular upgrade, and only 
   upgrade those hosts
   - Only run a command on machines which are not currently under heavy load

This seems like a common and desirable enough pattern, but as far as I can 
tell there is not a well defined way to execute this with Ansible. Is there 
a simple way to do this with a playbook, or do I need to write a strategy 
plugin?

Thanks,
Eric
