The ARGUMENTS to pass to the module.

Sudo to SUDO_USERNAME instead of root. Implies --sudo.
-c CONNECTION, --connection=CONNECTION
Connection type to use. Possible options are paramiko (SSH), ssh,
and local. local is mostly useful for crontab or kickstarts.
-l SUBSET, --limit=SUBSET
Further limits the selected host/group patterns.
-l ~REGEX, --limit=~REGEX

INVENTORY
Ansible stores the hosts it can potentially operate on in an inventory
file. The syntax is one host per line. Groups headers are allowed and
are included on their own line, enclosed in square brackets that start
the line.
Ranges of hosts are also supported. For more information and additional
options, see the documentation on http://ansible.github.com/.
