Thanks for the pointer. I was missing the vars section. The following works
as expected:
---
- hosts: all
vars:
users:
alice:
name: Alice Appleworth
telephone: 123-456-7890
bob:
name: Bob Bananarama
telephone: 987-654-3210
remote_user: root
tasks:
- name: Print phone records
debug: msg="User {{ item.key }} is {{ item.value.name }} ({{
item.value.telephone }})"
with_dict: users
