One loop over multiple Ansible tasks

Question

I've created an Ansible playbook that creates a cloud instance and then installs some programs on the instance. I want to run this playbook multiple times (without using a bash script). What can I do as with_items seemed like it would be a good approach but too bad we cant use this anymore.

Answer 1

With_items has unfortunately stopped but it’s coming up in its new versions.

You could try to work with the v2 branch from github.

What you can do with 1.9.1 is to move your tasks into a role and reference this role multiple times in your playbook.
