This module allows you to set host facts (or export play variables to the playbook scope if you fancy that).
The module also accepts complex arguments.
```yaml
- action: set_fact fact="something" global_fact="${local_var}"'
- action: set_fact
args:
fact: something
global_fact: ${local_var}
```

- This module allows you to set host facts from a task. This can be
|
|
useful for setting facts conditionally or allows to 'export' play
|
|
variables set by 'vars:' or 'vars_files:' to the playbook scope .
|
|
- In comparison to variables defined in the playbook, global variables
|
|
can be set conditionally (like any module) and are available in other
|
|
plays.
