I’m setting up an application using containers with ansible. I want to be able to set up the same application multiple times with a different set of variables. Is there a way how I could do this in parallel on a single host? I know I could deploy the same application n times on n different hosts, but what about n times on a single host? Is something like this possible? Doing it sequential obviously works, but it doesn’t scale well.
If it’s only one task that takes very long, and you don’t have any follow up tasks that rely on the outcome of the previous task, you might want to set
async: truefor that task.No, it’s a moderately complex role. Could I include the role with
async: true? There is obviously some dependencies inside the role, but not between the different role inclusions.I think you can use
asyncon task level only, but the documentation would be wider than me on that detail.
