Description

This connection plugin allows ansible to execute tasks on the Ansible 'controller' instead of on a remote host.

Inputs

    
pipelining:
    default: false
    description:
    - Pipelining reduces the number of connection operations required to execute a module
      on the remote server, by executing many Ansible modules without actual file transfers.
    - This can result in a very significant performance improvement when enabled.
    - However this can conflict with privilege escalation (become). For example, when
      using sudo operations you must first disable 'requiretty' in the sudoers file for
      the target hosts, which is why this feature is disabled by default.
