## ERROR! No hosts matched the subscripted pattern
If you see this error, it means that you tried to index a host group variable
that is using an index above its size.
Instead of doing something like `hosts: all[1]` which assumes that you have
at least two hosts in your current inventory, you better write something like
`hosts: "{{ all[1] | default([]) }}`, which is safe and do not produce runtime
errors. Use safe fallbacks to make your code more resilient.
