Use serial=1

Yes , i looked that, but i need to run playbook for one host after run another playbook after return for running the playbook1 for the second host.

Example:

Playbook1 for 10.10.10.10  
Playbook2 for another host  
playbook1 for 20.20.20.20  
playbook2 for another host and continue executing another playbook

Thank you

Hello,  
If you want to configure playbooks in easy way without using serial, you can write like this way too.
