I know you have to ability to call task tags from the command line, for
example:
ansible-playbook -i staging_env mydeploy.yml --tags "web_stop"
But, is there a way to call task tags from with in a playbook? I would
rather create multiple playbooks such as web_start.yml, web_deploy.yml,
stop_all.yml, start_all.yml and not have to worry about calling the
appropriate tags at the command line. My issue is that not everyone on the
Ops team is as familiar with ansible (and all of the tags we use), so
allowing them to just run "ansible-playbook -i staging_env start_all.yml"
seems easier and safer. And the goal is to keep my existing role/tasks
structure without duplicating tasks between roles. The main issue with the
playbook is that when you apply a role to hosts it applies all of the tasks
in that role, no way to pick and choose tasks in the playbook.
My dir structure for my web servers is as follows:
roles/web/tasks
main.yml
stop.yml
update_code.yml
start.yml
check_service.yml
If it's not possible to call task tags from a playbook, is this something
you're currently working? Is there another way to achieve this?
Thanks so much for your time.
