ansible-playbook: Run tasks in a playbook starting at a specific task.

ansible-playbook

$ ansible-playbook ${playbook} --start-at ${task_name}

try on your machine

The command ansible-playbook ${playbook} --start-at ${task_name} is used to execute an Ansible playbook and specify a specific task within the playbook to start from.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

${playbook}: This is a placeholder for the playbook file name or path that you want to execute. Replace ${playbook} with the actual playbook file name or path.
--start-at: This flag is used to indicate that you want to start the playbook execution from a specific task.
${task_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the task within the playbook where you want to start the execution. Replace ${task_name} with the actual name of the task.

By using this command, Ansible will only execute tasks starting from the specified task within the playbook and skip any tasks before it. This can be useful when you need to rerun a playbook and troubleshoot or reapply only a specific section of the playbook without executing the entire playbook again.
