Is it possible to execute an ansible playbook from a URL?

I'd love to be able to run ansible-playbook -i <inventory_url> <playbook_url> from my machine, but it doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone know if this is at all possible?

Ansible itself doesn't let you do this. But Ansible Tower (a commercial product of theirs) does allow you to perform all sorts of Ansible-related tasks, including running playbooks, etc. through a REST interface.

No. You can see the source code here, which shows the playbooks are assumed to be local:

if not os.path.exists(playbook):
    raise errors.AnsibleError("the playbook: %s could not be found" % playbook)
if not (os.path.isfile(playbook) or stat.S_ISFIFO(os.stat(playbook).st_mode)):
        raise errors.AnsibleError("the playbook: %s does not appear to be a file" % playbook)

Here's the documentation on Python's os.path, showing that is meant for local files.
