Ansible - Restart server and wait until available

Since ansible 2.3 you can use wait_for_connection function to check when host will be available

Example:

- name: Reboot server
  shell: ( sleep 2 && shutdown -r now & )
  async: 1
  poll: 0
  ignore_errors: true

- name: Waiting for host {{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }} after reboot
  wait_for_connection:
    timeout: 300
    delay: 30

This example solve your problem :-)
