Question:
The Ansible best-practices documentation has this example code:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
--- # file: roles/common/tasks/main.yml - name: be sure ntp is installed yum: name=ntp state=installed tags: ntp - name: be sure ntp is configured template: src=ntp.conf.j2 dest=/etc/ntp.conf notify: - restart ntpd tags: ntp - name: be sure ntpd is running and enabled service: name=ntpd state=running enabled=yes tags: ntp |
I’m looking to avoid duplicating the tags: ntp line. Is it possible for each of these instructions to inherit a tag?
Answer:
You could work with – block:

~ ansible-playbook -i realtime-automation/hosts-slaves become.yml –tags “block1”
In your specific case:
