How can I use the results from jinja2-templated file into a variable
without some hack to write a file out and read it in again?
I'm using the ec2 module to create new EC2 instances. For this module, you
can specify a multi-line string for the user_data field. I'd like to use a
template to create the string to use for this field. How can I do this?
The template module doesn't seem to fit because it wants to write to an
absolute destination at the target host, but I don't want to write a file,
I just need the templated output to use in a variable to pass along to the
ec2 module.
I can write the data with {{ jinja2 variables }} directly in a playbook,
but I want to re-use the same template for multiple playbooks that set up
different instances with different values.
Tried the lookup('file', 'my-user-data.yml') but it does not appear to be
parsed by jinja2.
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious...?
