Inside my playbook I'd like to create a variable holding the output of an external command. Afterwards I want to make use of that variable in a couple of templates. Here are the relevant parts of the playbook: tasks: - name: Create variable from command command: "echo Hello" register: command_output - debug: msg="{{command_output.stdout}}" - name: Copy test service template: src=../templates/test.
