Answer / Sumit Khari

In Ansible, you can use the 'with_items' and 'set_fact' constructs to iterate over a list of variables and set dynamic variable names. For example: - name: Create vars for hosts with specific facts with_items: "{{ ansible_facts['hostvars']['localhost']['ansible_os_family'] }}" tasks: - set_fact: os_name: "{{ item }}" when: ansible_os_family == item
