You may be reading it as you would a single threaded program, but it would
be closer to a program with a thread *per host*. Your command line:
$ ansible-playbook -i ./environments/CD-5525/hosts.yml main_CD-5525.yml -bK
runs (apparently) on three hosts: xxx, yyy, and zzz. When it's all over,
the tasks that get executed would be exactly the same if you had run these
three commands:
$ ansible-playbook -i ./environments/CD-5525/hosts.yml main_CD-5525.yml -bK
--limit=xxx
$ ansible-playbook -i ./environments/CD-5525/hosts.yml main_CD-5525.yml -bK
--limit=yyy
$ ansible-playbook -i ./environments/CD-5525/hosts.yml main_CD-5525.yml -bK
--limit=zzz
The order of each task on each node would be different of course, but the
end result is the same.
If the first task in your example ("Starts the first node of the cluster in
bootstrap mode") failed on one node, it would not affect the running of any
tasks on other nodes. This is true regardless of these tasks being in a
block. In fact, depending on the strategy you're running under (see
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_strategies.html)
the other nodes could complete the entire block before the first node even
starts.
