       add_host - add a host (and alternatively a group) to the ansible-
       playbook in-memory inventory

       later plays of the same playbook. Takes variables so you can define the
       new hosts more fully.

       name   The hostname/ip of the host to add to the inventory, can include
              a colon and a port number.(required).

EXAMPLES
       # add host to group 'just_created' with variable foo=42
       - add_host: name={{ ip_from_ec2 }} groups=just_created foo=42

       # add a host with a non-standard port local to your machines
       - add_host: name={{ new_ip }}:{{ new_port }}

       # add a host alias that we reach through a tunnel
       - add_host: hostname={{ new_ip }}
                   ansible_ssh_host={{ inventory_hostname }}
