Note that you must have passphrase-less SSH keys or an ssh-agent configured for this to work, otherwise rsync

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::
ansible-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

Advanced Playbooks
==================
Conditionals
============
Here are some advanced features of the playbooks language. Using all of these features
is not necessary, but many of them will prove useful. If a feature doesn't seem immediately
relevant, feel free to skip it. For many people, the features documented in `playbooks` will
be 90% or more of what they use in Ansible.
Often the result of a play may depend on the value of a variable, fact, or previous task result. In some cases,
the values of variables may depend on other variables. Further, additional groups can be created to manage hosts based on
whether the hosts match other criteria. There are many options to control execution flow in Ansible.
Let's dig into what they are.
