Example
Play contains several tasks, which can be tagged:
- name: Install applications
hosts: all
become: true
tasks:
- name: Install vim
apt: name=vim state=present
tags:
- vim
- name: Install screen
apt: name=screen state=present
tags:
- screen
Task with tag 'vim' will run when 'vim' is specified in tags. You can specify as many tags as you want. It is useful to use tags like 'install' or 'config'. Then you can run playbook with specifying tags or skip-tags. For
ansible-playbook my_playbook.yml --tags "tag1,tag2"
ansible-playbook my_playbook.yml --tags "tag2"
ansible-playbook my_playbook.yml --skip-tags "tag1"
By default Ansible run all tags
