This seems to be working, but is there a more readable way to write this?
size: "{{ 300 if 'string1’ in ansible_fact or 'string_2' in ansible_fact or
'string_3' in ansible_fact or 'string_4' in ansible_fact else 100 if
'string_5' in ansible_fact or 'string_6' in ansible_fact or 'string_7' in
ansible_fact else 200 if 'string_8' in ansible_fact }}"
