Is it possible to subscripts children sub group?
Inventory file testinv.ini
[group1]
hostname1
hostname2
hostname3
[group2]
hostname4
hostname5
hostname6
[test:children]
group1[0:1]
group2[0:1]
ansible -i testinv.ini --list-host test
Running the list-host does not return any data.
Is it possible to match two hosts from every group under the children's group?
Expected result is:
hosts (4):
hostname1
hostname2
hostname4
hostname5
According the documentation Adding ranges of hosts not, since it seems to be for hosts only.
As well a test with the provided inventory file hosts will result into an output and error message of
ansible-inventory -i hosts --graph
[WARNING]: * Failed to parse hosts with yaml plugin: We were unable to read either as JSON nor YAML, these are the errors we got from each: JSON:

line 2, column 1, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: [group1] hostname1 ^ here

Is it possible to match 2 hosts from every group ...
So, you would either need to create separate groups for, or limit the execution to certain hosts or group members.
