it thought that should works something like this, for example:
- hosts: all
vars_files:
tasks:
- name: create the VM
vmware_guest:
...
- name: add to /etc/hosts file
- name: Refresh inventory
meta: refresh_inventory
- name: change something1 on new vm's
- name: change something2 on new vm's
but it doesn't
this works:
- hosts: all
vars_files:
tasks:
- name: create the VM
vmware_guest:
...
- name: add to /etc/hosts file
- name: reconfigure other stuff
hosts: deploy
tasks:
- name: Refresh inventory
meta: refresh_inventory
- name: change something1 on new vm's
- name: change something2 on new vm's
