If you must keep all the comments then you'll have to use logic to handle
that.
Whenever someone edits the file, or by some software update, your logic
might break.
I would either template the entire thing out, based on a config that you
have in your ansible code.
Or, use a combination of slurp and write out the structure. This will
remove any comments, but one could argue that that is not required anyway.
For example:
vars:
filename:* /etc/myagent/myfile*
config_opts:
logging.files:
path: /var/log/newfile
tasks:
- slurp:
src: "{{ filename }}"
register: foo
- set_fact:
foo: "{{ foo.content | b64decode | from_yaml | combine(config_opts)
}}"
- copy:
content: "{{ foo | to_nice_yaml }}"
dest: "{{ filename }}"
