How to stop the playbook if one play fails

Question

I have the following playbook with 3 plays. When one of the plays fail, the next plays still execute. I think it is because I run those plays with a different host target.

I would like to avoid this and have the playbook stop when one play fails, is it possible?

---
- name: create the EC2 instances
  hosts: localhost
  any_errors_fatal: yes
  connection: local
  tasks:
    - ...

- name: configure instances
  hosts: appserver
  any_errors_fatal: yes
  gather_facts: true
  tasks:
   - ...

- name: Add to load balancer
  hosts: localhost
  any_errors_fatal: yes
  vars:
    component: travelmatrix
  tasks:
    - ...

Answer 1

You can use any_errors_fatal which stops the play if there are any errors.
