You can explicitly mention the hostname/IP\_Address to execute the ansible playbook like this, along with the extra variables that maybe used inside your role

ansible-playbook -i ‘\<IP\_ADDRESS\>’ ansible/configure-gocd-postgres.yml --extra-vars ‘{  
“variable\_1”:“”,  
“variable\_2”:“”,  
“variable\_3”:“”,  
“variable\_4”:“”,  
}’
