Yes, I have that stuff in my group_vars/all and in various vars.yml files.
There no special magic to it except that you have to enable the do
extension in ansible.cfg.
Every string variable in Ansible is fed through the templating engine:
---
foobar_config_path: "/etc/foobar"
foobar_foomatic_file: "{{ foobar_config_path }}/foomatic.conf"
greeting: "Hello {% for host in groups['all'] %}{{ host }}, {% endfor %}
and everybody else!"
block_string: |
This is just a convenient YAML way for assigning multi-line strings to a
variable,
possibly with {{ 'splendid' if datacenter_location == 'UK' else 'awesome'
}} magic
embedded in it...
