Is it possible to run playbook with wildcard tags ?

for example:

ansible-playbook … playbook.yml --tags db_*

which expects db_* matches db_install, db_configure etc.

thanks

no

I guess there could be a somewhat more helpful answer to this? Maybe it’s worth a feature request?

The tags parameter will executing as your ordered list
but if you want to use wildcard tags will cause some unpredictable problem, it will more like black box, you can not control ansible how to storing the tag list.
If you really want to do it, try use xargs command.
