I figured out.

I came with this:

**- hosts: “{{ (groups[‘foo’] | shuffle)[0:1] }}”** #THIS SCRIPT RANDOMS THE HOST  
become: true  
vars:

- ansible\_sudo\_pass: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
roles:  
**- role: “{{ [‘reboot’,‘shutdown’] | random }}”** #THIS SCRIPT RANDOMS THE ROLE

So I guess we can consider this issue solved.

Thanks anyways, guys
