The yum and apt modules use with_items to execute fewer package manager transactions.
Note that the types of items you iterate over with 'with_items' do not have to be simple lists of strings.
If you have a list of hashes, you can reference subkeys using things like::
${item.subKeyName}

Sometimes you'll want to include the content of a file directly into a playbook. You can do so using a macro.
This syntax will remain in future versions, though we will also will provide ways to do this via lookup plugins (see "More Loops") as well. What follows
is an example using the authorized_key module, which requires the actual text of the SSH key as a parameter::
tasks:
- authorized_key name=$item key=$FILE(/keys/$user1)
with_items:
- pinky
- brain
- snowball
