when: ansible_fqdn == "VM-0213.step.zrz.internal"
does not create any error in the set_fact TASK. It does not set anything either
unfortunately. Which, thinking of it, seems logical as we just compare the
string ansible_fqdn with another string and not the value of the variale {{
ansible_fqdn }}. so that seems to be a dead end.
the second option seems too complex for my current scenario. I am trying to
gather all variables into a singe place. And having to create a
host_vars/<fqdn>.yml file for each host on each execution contradicts that a
bit too much.
