Simplify the group_by example a small bit

# Example playbook to demonstrate the group_by action plugin.
#
# as we know, the setup module will automatically run in each play, and sets up various
# facts. We can then create temporary (in memory only) groups based on those facts, which
# are useful ways of selecting similar sets of hosts.
#
# Additionally, we can use the 'register' keyword in Ansible to set similar variables
# and use those for grouping. This is not shown in this example.
- hosts: all
# This runs the setup module to gather facts
tasks:
# Use the ansible_machine variable to create a group for every value,
# prefix the group name with 'ansible-'
- action: group_by key=ansible-${ansible_machine}
- hosts: ansible-x86_64
tasks:
# Run ping on all x86_64 machines
- action: ping
- hosts: all
- name: Create a group of all hosts by operating system
action: group_by key=${ansible_distribution}-${ansible_distribution_version}
# the following host group does not exist in inventory and was created by the group_by
# module.
- hosts: CentOS-6.2
tasks:
# Create a group of all kvm hosts
- action: group_by key=${ansible_virtualization_type}-${ansible_virtualization_role}
- hosts: kvm-host
- name: ping all CentOS 6.2 hosts
action: ping
- hosts: CentOS-6.3
tasks:
- action: ping
- name: ping all CentOS 6.3 hosts
action: ping
