Using Lookups
=============
Lookup plugins allow access of data in Ansible from outside sources. This can include the filesystem
but also external datastores. These values are then made available using the standard templating system
Lookup plugins allow access of data in Ansible from outside sources. These plugins are evaluated on the Ansible control
machine, and can include reading the filesystem but also contacting external datastores and services.
These values are then made available using the standard templating system
in Ansible, and are typically used to load variables or templates with information from those systems.
.. note:: This is considered an advanced feature, and many users will probably not rely on these features.
