[ansible-project] Run playbook against multiple hosts with different variables
So, we build alot of servers with different specs, and our YAML file variables for the build specs differ (like different CPU/RAM/HDD etc) , but the playbooks remain the same. Currently, to run multiple builds concurrently, I have to open new ssh session to the Ansible server everytime and run the builds for each server using: So first ssh session will run the build for the firsr server like this: ansible-playbook playbooks/newonpremserver.yml -e "hostname=server01" - Second ssh session will run the build for the second server like this: ansible-playbook playbooks/newonpremserver.yml -e "hostname=server02" - and so on.. Please suggest a better way to run builds concurrently. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

Re: [ansible-project] Run playbook against multiple hosts
I got it work, by following this simple example on git hub:

Thanks everyone.

Re: [ansible-project] Run playbook against multiple hosts
This is what I got when I ran:
TASK [Include vars of server.yaml file]
task path: /etc/ansible/roles/secwinupdates/tasks/main.yml:12
fatal: [server1]: FAILED! => {
"ansible_facts": {
"server": {}
},
"ansible_included_var_files": [],
"changed": false,
"message": "Could not find or access
'/etc/ansible/servers/win_us_bgrsuistg.yaml' on the Ansible Controller.\nIf
you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the
remote_src option"
}
fatal: [server2]: FAILED! => {
"ansible_facts": {
"server": {}
},
"ansible_included_var_files": [],
"changed": false,
"message": "Could not find or access
'/etc/ansible/servers/win_us_bgrsuistg.yaml' on the Ansible Controller.\nIf
you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the

}
fatal: [server3]: FAILED! => {

you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the

}
This is what my host file looks like:
[win_us_bgrsuistg]
server1 ansible_host=x.x.x.x
server2 ansible_host=x.x.x.x
server3 ansible_host=x.x.x.x
I tried to create a seperate yaml file for the servers, called win_us_bgrsuistg
, which includes the server1, server2, server 3 names in it, I then got the
below error:
fatal: [server1]: FAILED! => {
"ansible_facts": {
"server": {}
},
"ansible_included_var_files": [],
"changed": false,
"message": "/etc/ansible/servers/win_us_bgrsuistg.yaml must be stored
