Now that you have the basics down, let's learn some more advanced
things you can do with playbooks.
Local Playbooks
+++++++++++++++
It may be useful to use a playbook locally, rather than by connecting over SSH. This can be useful
for assuring the configuration of a system by putting a playbook on a crontab. This may also be used
to run a playbook inside a OS installer, such as an Anaconda kickstart.
To run an entire playbook locally, just set the "hosts:" line to "hosts:127.0.0.1" and then run the playbook like so::
playbook playbook.yml --connection=local
Alternatively, a local connection can be used in a single playbook play, even if other plays in the playbook
use the default remote connection type::
hosts: 127.0.0.1
connection: local
