An example may come up where we need to get the ipv4 address of an arbitrary interface, where the interface to be used may be supplied
|
||||
via a role parameter or other input. Variable names can be built by adding strings together, like so::
|
||||
|
||||
{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_' + which_interface]['ipv4']['address'] }}

The trick about going through hostvars is neccessary because it's a dictionary of the entire namespace of variables. 'inventory_hostname'
|
||||
is a magic variable that indiciates the current host you are looping over in the host loop.
