ansible: difference between a variable and a fact

  • 772

While I'm using Ansible for quite some time, I'm not sure I really understand the differences between a variable and a fact. Could someone explain me, possibly with an example where it really make a difference ?

variables ansible

  1. Quote from the documentation:

    Variables related to remote systems are called facts.

    Apart on how facts are discovered they are just variables.

    It doesn't make any difference.
