Hello Adam E,
You have got the implementation correct. Intersect is the correct method to
be used.
You may refer the playbook mentioned below:
- hosts: localhost
vars:
list1: ['value1', 'value2']
list2: ['value3', 'value4']
tasks:
- name: Find intersection
debug:
msg: "{{ list1 | intersect(list2) | length }}"
register: List.Length
- name: Returns True/False
debug:
msg: "{% if List.Length > '0' %} returns True{% else %} returns
False{% endif %}"
Thanks
Soniya
