@Todd Lewis
Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. :-)
Your suggestion is a bit too short:
volumes:
- class: data
id: a61b96e7-427e-493a-993c-c3efc8a16aa1
size: 500GB
type: ssd
Strangely, it indents the first attribute of the list despite 'first=false'.
With:
volumes:
{{ volumes | to_nice_yaml | indent(width=8, first=false) }}
we get a correct result:
volumes:
- class: data
id: a61b96e7-427e-493a-993c-c3efc8a16aa1
size: 500GB
type: ssd
which is close enough, although I don't understand why we can't get the
original expected result.
