Michael,
Thank you. Looks like you already anticipated the need for this. Sorry I
missed it.
It worked. For the sake of others, here is the statement that accomplished
the task. It wouldn't work without the "local_action" part. I put this in
my "main.yml" under the "vm" role.
[VM creation tasks...]
- name: Wait for the Kickstart install to complete and the VM to reboot
local_action: wait_for host={{ vm_hostname }} port=22 delay=30
timeout=1200 state=started
- name: Now configure the VM...
