Calling the inventory created by first task to the second one

[Veera]

Hi,

I have a  playbook book with 2 tasks in it .

In the first tasks, I have playbooks to create a VM  and  build OS  on it  and  able to login  to the VM manually (for testing)  , and the final play creates a temporary  inventory file like below.

[dev-vm1]

mytestvm1 ansible_ssh_private_key_file: mykey.pem   ansible_ssh_user: "root" ansible_ssh_extra_args: '-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'

the second tasks has a bunch of plays which needs to login to the mytestvm1(using the temp inventory file)above and execute  .

I have a main.yml like this 

- name: main.play

  hosts: localhost

  tasks:

      play1:

      play2:

      play3

- hosts:  dev-vm1    

  become: true 

  gather_facts: true 

  tasks: 

       play1:

       play2:

       play2

####################################

I don't want to 

   - split them into 2 separate  playbooks

    - run with  -i inventory file 

want to pass the inventory directly to be processed by the second play ...

Thanks a lot  . I am able to overcome it .

I was missing the   indent after the add_host earlier for the second task and now I can .
