Ansible vmware playbooks

[TheReal MVP]

Hi there,

In a playbook, what is the different between host all and host localhost? 

I have a playbook that simply won't perform the tasks and i suspect this setting might be what's wrong.

Thanks!

This will run the tasks on the 'control node' (where you run ansible itself):

hosts: localhost 

This will run the tasks on the hosts in the inventory.

hosts: all
