notes:
- This module bypasses the play host loop and only runs once for all the hosts in the play, if you need it
to iterate use a with\_ directive.
- This module is also supported for Windows targets.
- Windows targets are supported by this module.
- The alias 'host' of the parameter 'name' is only available on >=2.4
- Since Ansible version 2.4, the ``inventory_dir`` variable is now set to ``None`` instead of the 'global inventory source',
because you can now have multiple sources. An example was added that shows how to partially restore the previous behaviour.
