The ansible module looks for .my.cnf in the home directory of the ssh user, specifically, it does this:

mycnf = os.path.expanduser('~/.my.cnf')

Is ansible ssh'ing in as root, or are you sudo'ing?

Yay!

If I just change that from PIPE to PIPE_ONCE, will that do the trick?

This is great. What I would really like is "bail if not all of the variables used by this template are set", without having to explicitly enumerate the variables.

The :& syntax isn't currently documented, I just submitted a pull request to document that: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/2033

In the example above, staging can be an individual host or any kind of group, including a top-level group.
