[ansible-project] Is there a better way to restructure playbook without “include_tasks” and run task simultaneously?
I need a way to speed up my playbook, maybe better logical structuring.
It’s running sequentially now. The task is simple – run playbook from AWX
that will backup list of VMs.
I’m supplying list of VMs in AWX extra variables:
backupList:
- vmName: VM1
backupAge: 2d
- vmName: VM2
backupAge: 5d
- vmName: VM3
backupAge: 1d
backupDirectory:/vmfs/volumes/NFS_BACKUPS
The first playbook is simple:
- name: Process VM backup here
include_tasks: processBackup.yml
vars:
vm_name: "{{ item.vmName }}"
backupAge: "{{ item.backupAge }}"
with_items: "{{ backupList }}"
It reads extra variables and loops through calling second playbook using
“include_tasks” where all functionality is written: cloning VM, copy to NFS
server and making sure we keep the defined amount of copies.
Basically the same set of tasks performed with different VM names and
backup age. In this configuration, it is executed sequentially and takes a
long time, especially the copy part to a backup server.
So, I'm wondering if there is a better way to restructure the code to run
tasks simultaneously for each VM name?
Thanks

[ansible-project] Ansible - use variable from another host
I have a playbook that executes a script on a Windows box that returns a
value that I have to re-use later on in my playbook after switching to the
localhost. How can I access this value after switching back to localhost.
Here is an example:
hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: no
tasks:
.
.
.
hosts: windows
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: Call PowerShell script
win_command: "c:\\windows\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe
c:\\psl_scripts\\getData.ps1"
register: value_to_reuse
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
connection: local
tasks:
- name: debug store_name from windows host
debug:
var: "{{ hostvars[windows][value_to_reuse][stdout_lines] }}"
What is the correct syntax accessing a variable from another host? I'm
receiving error message: *"msg": "The task includes an option with an
undefined variable. The error was: 'windows' is undefined*
