Passing IP address from one playbook to another playbook

[Rajaniesh Kaushikk]

I have developed the playbook which created a vm in azure(playbook name is CreateAzureVM.yml) and I have another playbooks which Installs softwares on the VM(install_software.yml).

I have imported install_software.yml in the CreateAzureVM.yml playbook. install_software.yml takes the host info from inventory file which contains ansible_connection=ssh ansible_ssh_pass=XYZ ansible_host=IPaddressOfTheHost

Now my requirement is that I want to pass the IP address of the newly created machine to the Imported playbook so instead of taking the static IP provided in the inventory it can take it dynamically from the CreateAzureVM.yml.

I already tried to update the inventory file but looks like updating the inventory file in the middle of CreateAzureVM playbook does not help because inventory file is already loaded and updating it afterward does not help.

Any quick help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards 

Rajaniesh

According to your need, what i understand. It may be work for you.

- name: Refresh Inventory File
meta: refresh_inventory
- pause:
minutes: 1

Add these line in last of CreateAzurevm playbook.

Let me post the playbook to help you understand it better

I have two playbooks 

1: Install azure vm

2 install mongo db and tomcat

I want to integrate both so first one send ip to second playbook and second play book does its job/

First playbook code is here:

AzurePlaybook.yml

-----All the other tasks----

azure_rm_publicipaddress:

      resource_group: Solutioning

      allocation_method: Static

      name: PublicIP

    register: output_ip_address

- name: Include another playbook

  import_playbook: install_MongoDb_and_Tomcat.yml

 

In Install MongoDB and Tomcat Playbook here is the code

install_MongoDb_and_Tomcat.yml

---

- name: install Mongo and Tomcat

  hosts:  demo1

  become: yes

  become_method: sudo       # Set become method

  remote_user: azureuser         # Update username for remote server

  

  vars:

    tomcat_ver: 9.0.30                          # Tomcat version to install

    ui_manager_user: manager                    # User who can access the UI manager section only

    ui_manager_pass: Str0ngManagerP@ssw3rd      # UI manager user password

    ui_admin_username: admin                    # User who can access bpth manager and admin UI sections

    ui_admin_pass: Str0ngAdminP@ssw3rd

    # UI admin password

  roles:

    - install_mongodb

    - mongo_post_install

    - install_tomcat

    - tomcat_post_install

I have used  import playbook and I want to pass the IP address instead of taking it from inventory file currently install_MongoDb_and_Tomcat.yml playboook taking it from hosts: demo1 which is declared in the inventory file
