You can simply do it by having multiple plays in one playbook. Many ways to skin this cat.

```auto
---
- name: reboot server 1
hosts: server1
tasks:
- reboot
- name: reboot the rest
hosts: zoneA, !server1
tasks:
- reboot

```

Hello Magnus,

We need to use dynamic hosts with when condition. Here we are calling the hosts with tag names. Could please me in this condition.
