Ansible vmware playbooks

Hi there,

In a playbook, what is the different between host all and host localhost?

I have a playbook that simply won’t perform the tasks and i suspect this setting might be what’s wrong.

Thanks!

This will run the tasks on the ‘control node’ (where you run ansible itself):
hosts: localhost

This will run the tasks on the hosts in the inventory.
hosts: all

Thank you! :slight_smile:
