ansible.builtin.linear strategy – Executes tasks in a linear fashion
Note
This strategy plugin is part of ansible-core and included in all Ansible
installations. In most cases, you can use the short
plugin name
linear.
However, we recommend you use the Fully Qualified Collection Name (FQCN) ansible.builtin.linear for easy linking to the
plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have
the same strategy plugin name.
Synopsis
Task execution is in lockstep per host batch as defined by
serial(default all). Up to the fork limit of hosts will execute each task at the same time and then the next series of hosts until the batch is done, before going on to the next task.
Notes
Note
This was the default Ansible behaviour before ‘strategy plugins’ were introduced in 2.0.
