/Ansible 2.9

linear – Executes tasks in a linear fashion

Synopsis

  • Task execution is in lockstep per host batch as defined by serial (default all). Up to the fork limit of hosts will execute each task at the same time and then the next series of hosts until the batch is done, before going on to the next task.

Notes

Note

  • This was the default Ansible behaviour before ‘strategy plugins’ were introduced in 2.0.

Hint

Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
