include

include module

Include and execute tasks from external task files. This allows you to organize and reuse task definitions across playbooks.

Examples

- name: Include common setup tasks
  include_tasks: common/setup.yml

- name: Include tasks with variables
  include_tasks: database/install.yml
  vars:
    db_version: "13"

- name: Conditionally include tasks
  include_tasks: ssl/configure.yml
  when: enable_ssl | bool

- name: Import tasks (static inclusion)
  import_tasks: handlers/restart.yml

Note: include_tasks is dynamic (evaluated at runtime), while import_tasks is static (evaluated at parse time). This module also handles import_playbook and include directives.
