After failed task on 99% of my server , the rest of the playbook is running only on the 1% servers that passed the tasks

Hi ,
I have a main playbook that uses “include” to call other playbooks.

In one of the playbooks, I have 5 tasks. The second task falls on all my servers except for one server - From that point, the entire playbook (main) is running only on that server

  1. If a task failed on a server - how can I stop the entire process
  2. In my case, why the playbook continues to run only on the server that was passed the specific task?
- hosts:
    - postgres1
    - cloudera_manager
    - worker
    - master
    - gw
    - kafka
    - repository
    - kafka_master
  become: true
  vars_files:
    - ./cloudera_environment.yml

  tasks:

  - name: update hostname
    include: hostname-update.yml

  - name: create maintenance user
    include: create_maintenance_user.yml

  - name: OS update for supporting cloudera best practice      In this playbook task number 2 is faild on all my servers except one server

    include: redhat7_bigdata_best_practice.yml                 Starting task 3 in till the end of the palybook all tasks are running on that
specific server
  - name: update repository file
include: update-yum-repo.yml

  - name: Install rpm packages
include: install-package.yml

## Install Openjdk 11 ##
- hosts:

    - master
    - gw
    - repository

become: true
vars_files:

That's the normal procedure.

2. In my case, why the playbook continues to run only on the server that was passed the specific task?

You can abort the whole process on a single failure with

  any_errors_fatal: true
