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.
