I don't 100% understand your ultimate aim here. It might be easier to
understand if you break it down into smaller steps and include some sample
inputs and desired output?
A sanitised version of what's in my_instance, item_list , and what you
would like out at the end might help?
IF I understand what you're trying to do, using your loop item as the key
for your set_fact. For me, with appropriate quoting this seems to work...
$ cat wtf.yml
- hosts: localhost
become: no
gather_facts: no
vars:
varlist:
- value1
- value2
- valueC
tasks:
- name: Use item as the fact key for set_fact in a loop
set_fact:
"{{ item }}": value
loop: "{{ varlist }}"
- name: Check the values assigned to the facts
debug:
var: "{{ item }}"
loop: "{{ varlist }}"
$ ansible-playbook wtf.yml
