Notes
Note
When using a strategy such as free, host_pinned, or a custom strategy, host results will be added to new task results in ``.plays[].tasks[]``. As such, there will exist duplicate task objects indicated by duplicate task IDs at ``.plays[].tasks[].task.id``, each with an individual host result for the task.
Hint
Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
