Here's the breakdown of the command:
-
ansible ${group}
: This part specifies the group of hosts on which the command will be executed.${group}
is a variable representing the name of the group. -
--become
: This flag enables privilege escalation, allowing the command to be executed with elevated privileges (typically using "sudo" or "su" commands). -
--ask-become-pass
: This flag prompts the user to enter the password for privilege escalation (become password) before executing the command. This is required since the command will run with escalated privileges. -
-m command
: This flag specifies the Ansible module to be used for executing the command. In this case, the "command" module is used, which allows running arbitrary commands on the remote hosts. -
-a '${my_command}'
: This flag sets the arguments for the specified module.${my_command}
is a variable representing the command to be executed on the remote hosts enclosed in single quotes. The value of${my_command}
will be provided by the user when running this command.

) on the hosts belonging to the specified group, with privilege escalation and the user is prompted to provide the become password.
