How to Use Different Types of Ansible Variables (Examples)
Ansible Variables are a crucial component in managing dynamic values throughout an Ansible project and can potentially reduce the number of human errors. They allow for flexibility in defining variables in multiple places with different precedence according to use case, as well as registering new variables in playbooks using returned task values. Ansible also provides special types of variables such as magic variables, connection variables, and facts. Variables can be set globally, per host or group of hosts, or within the context of a play. They can be defined in playbooks, roles, inventory, var files, and command line.
