Hi,

You should probably use "wait_for_connection" module instead of the one you use

This is how I use it :

- hosts: newly_managed_vms
become: yes
become_user: root
remote_user: ansible
gather_facts: no # servers could be not available yet
tasks:

- name: "Wait for server to power up"
wait_for_connection:
sleep: 5
timeout: 600

- name: "Gather facts for first time"
setup:
