Pause and Resume Ansible Playbooks without editing the YAML playbook

Hi All,

Our team have been trying to develop some GUI for the ansible execution and I wanted to know if there is some way to pause and resume the execution of the playbook midway with just command line argument. I am familiar with the Pause option but that needs to be added in the YAML, we don’t want that. I am also familiar with the --step argument passed on the CLI, that’s close to what we want but not specifically.

Thanks,
Akash

Closest thing I can think of is playbook debugger functionality described here:
