I am using the below function for the past 4 months to orchestrate the installations/depolyments and it was quick.

It was working fine and all of a sudden, it became dead slow. I do not remember tweaking settings.

def run\_playbook(listVMs, playbook, user, extra\_vars=None, key\_file=None):  
print(datetime.datetime.now())  
stats = callbacks.AggregateStats()  
playbook\_cb = callbacks.PlaybookCallbacks(verbose=utils.VERBOSITY)  
runner\_cb = callbacks.PlaybookRunnerCallbacks(stats, verbose=utils.VERBOSITY)

pb = ansible.playbook.PlayBook(  
host\_list=listVMs,  
playbook=playbook,  
forks=20,  
remote\_user=user,  
remote\_pass=‘centos’,  
runner\_callbacks=runner\_cb,  
callbacks=playbook\_cb,  
stats=stats,  
extra\_vars=extra\_vars  
)

pb.run()

run\_playbook(listAllVms, ‘./resources/yaml/playbooks/all/config/yumbootstrap.yml’, ‘root’)

Please help.

And regular: ansible-playbook command works fine when the playbook is pointed.
