Since you want to run 3 sets of tasks on different sets of servers it would
be a lot cleaner to split your playbook into three plays instead of one:
- hosts: patchgroup[0]
tasks:
- debug: msg=pre
- hosts: patchgroup
serial: 1
tasks:
- debug: msg=patch
- hosts: patchgroup[0]
tasks:
- debug: msg=post
This way you won't have a bunch of skipped tasks and you can end_play
during patching without affecting your post tasks, since they're a separate
play.
