Type Of Ansible Connection

Automate
#1

Hi all DevOps,

I want to ask some questions about working of Ansible.

1 - Which shell Ansible uses when logging to remote host ?

2 - If I have 10 tasks in a playbook, then ansible makes connection in 10 times to remote host OR uses a single connection ?

3 - If I am running 10 tasks on 2 hosts,

It will do first task on host 1 and then on host 2
then second task on host 1 and then on host 2,
…
.
.
So, here also the connection persists to both the hosts?

OR

does it firstly connect to host 1, runs task 1 and then disconnects AND then connects to host 2, runs task 1 and then disconnects ?

4 -

This says that the default timeout is 10 seconds.

So, it means after every 10 seconds it makes a new connection ?

What if some task is running and the connection times out ? What will happen then ?

I am sorry If I am asking annoying questions. Please don’t mind.

I want to draw your attention that this talk.manageiq.org is related to ManageIQ Cloud Management Platform and CloudForms product by RedHat and it may happen that you will not find here the correct answer to your questions related to Ansible or Tower or will a long wait for such answers.
I recommend you to use the Ansible Project Google Group maillist https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-project or DevOps stackexchange forum: https://devops.stackexchange.com/

I use these for such questions.
