strategy: free
short_description: Executes tasks on each host independently
short_description: Executes tasks without waiting for all hosts
description:
- Task execution is as fast as possible per host in batch as defined by C(serial) (default all).
Ansible will not wait for other hosts to finish the current task before queuing the next task for a host that has finished.
Once a host is done with the play, it opens it's slot to a new host that was waiting to start.
- Task execution is as fast as possible per batch as defined by C(serial) (default all).
Ansible will not wait for other hosts to finish the current task before queuing more tasks for other hosts.
All hosts are still attempted for the current task, but it prevents blocking new tasks for hosts that have already finished.
- With the free strategy, unlike the default linear strategy, a host that is slow or stuck on a specific task
won't hold up the rest of the hosts and tasks.
