Hi, I have several plays to setup coreos stack: The first brings up aws machines, the second one creates ssh\_config ( need to communicate via proxycommand ) based on aws inventory groups. Is it possible to reload inventory between steps 1 and 2, or do I have to run ansible-playbook twice? # cat site.yml - include: coreos.yml - include: ssh\_config.yml - include: docker\_image.yml - include: coreos\_apps.yml ---

No. But look at the “add\_host” module examples, prominently featured in things like the ec2 examples, for how to do this without reloading inventory. [http://docs.ansible.com/add\_host\_module.html](http://docs.ansible.com/add_host_module.html) ---

Good example, thanks, J.
