I'm using AWX Workflow templates for basic sequencing and execution control of playbooks. There is some extra hardware required, but software-wise AWX is relatively low barrier to start running playbooks in a more organized manner than from the CLI. I wouldn't expect Ansible to provide a true

Thank you for the all the responses so far. I had a look at mitogen, but in our setup almost all modules are run on the controller (templates, lookups etc), in fact we hardly use SSH at all (as targets are usually set up using XML-RPC or REST APIs), so I'm not sure how much it's going to help
