hosts: (Ansible)

Patterns: targeting hosts and groups (ansible)

• hosts: all

• hosts: localhost

• --limit

Errors

• [WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'

• ERROR! Hosts list cannot be empty - please check your playbook

• skipping: no hosts matched
