I have a task that I would like to conditionally run even in check_mode (actually I want to set it for an entire role, but I'm seeing the same behavior in regular tasks). The idea is that this would NOT run the task: ansible-playbook always_run.yml --check And then to actually execute the

Re: [ansible-project] delegate_to a whole group: is it sequential or parallel?

delegate_to is not inherently parallel or serial, there is no relationships with it and forks. Parallelism depends on the play and task, with_ loops are currently ONLY serial, so if you delegate_to: "{{item}}" it is serial in the loop, but it is parallel across the play hosts. -- Brian
