This indicates that your inventory_hostname and your ansible_fqdn are
not the same, which can certainly be the case.
But Vladimir Botka is correct, and so is your intuition, that you should
have all these variables in the same place. However, that place
shouldn't be in your tasks:.

I could actually manage this with:

level: keycloak
when "'VM-0312.step.zrz.internal' in inventory_hostname'

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.

Or, better yet in my opinion, set the default value for "level" in
group_vars/<name_of_group>.yml, then for hosts which need a
different "level" set that in an appropriately named host_vars file,
like host_vars/VM-0213.step.zrz.internal.yml.
This let's you expresses facts about hosts as data rather than as
results of expressions in set_fact or other tasks, task which you no
longer need to run.

There's a problem with your "when:" conditionals.
First of all, throw out the second, because the strings that are
"when:" expressions are already being evaluated in a Jinja2
context, so the mustaches shouldn't be there.
In the first option, on this line:
when: ansible_fqdn == VM-0213.step.zrz.internal
the "ansible_fqdn" part is okay, but the expression on the
right-hand side "==" should be a string. Instead it's the value of
the variable "VM" minus the octal number 0213's missing attribute
"step"'s missing attribute "zrz"'s missing attribute "internal".
So, yeah, no wonder that doesn't work.
Try this instead:
when: ansible_fqdn == "VM-0213.step.zrz.internal"
and let us know how you get on.

hi,
I want to take different sligthly routes in a playbook based on the particular
remote. All remotes are in the same hosts group.
I am trying to do this by setting a fact based on the ansible_fqdn value.
Based on that fact ('keycloak' in my example here) I am including different
tasks files.
these 2 options do not work though:
################################################################
- ansible.builtin.set_fact:
level: keycloak
when: ansible_fqdn == VM-0312.step.zrz.internal
- ansible.builtin.set_fact:
level: keycloak
when: "{{ ansible_fqdn == VM-0312.step.zrz.internal }}"
################################################################
is there a way to achieve this?
