How much is the default timeout for each tasks? is there seperate timeout available for each modules? 2.

There’s no timeout for module execution by default. If you want to have a timeout value use async. The value you set to async is the maximum number of seconds the task can run for. Ansible doesn’t support intermediate module output, you will have to wait until the module is complete before seeing the results. Thanks Jordan ---
