How to run multiple playbooks in parallel? Async and poll don’t seem to support “Include playbook”

I want to do something like

  • include: …/abc.yml
    async: 500
    poll: 0
    tags: [abc]

  • include: …/xyz.yml

async: 500
poll: 0
tags: [xyz]

I get this :

ERROR! ‘async’ is not a valid attribute for a PlaybookInclude

Is this even possible with Ansible modules?

This is probably a better question for ansible-project group than here.

I’m interested if there’s a way to do this (even if its just shell script wrapping). I had to do something similar recently and wound up using jenkins, but its not ideal as each playbook needs wrapping up as a jenkins job and it quickly gets tedious to set up if you need to run more than a few jobs in parallel.
