title: Ansible: removing hosts
body: <p>I know that one can add host with the following task:</p>
  
  <pre><code>- name: Add new instance to host group
    add_host:
      hostname: '{{ item.public_ip }}'
      groupname: "tag_Name_api_production"
    with_items: ec2.instances
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I can't seem to find a way to remove a host from inventory. Is there any way to do this?</p>
