ansible.builtin.async_status – Obtain status of asynchronous task

Note

This module is part of ansible-base and included in all Ansible installations. In most cases, you can use the short module name async_status even without specifying the collections: keyword. Despite that, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the module documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have the same module name.
