I have 2 hosts in a group:

```auto
[group-1] 
hostname1
hostname2

```

I have 2 directories `hostname1,hostname2` in my local. How can Iconstruct a task to copy `hostname1` directory to host `hostname1`and for `homename2` for a play something like this:

```auto
- name: copy_play
  hosts: group-1
  gather_facts: True
  roles:
    - vlsconfig

```
