| [2] | When running Playbook, [GATHERING FACTS] task is always executed, it is the function which Ansible gets informations of target hosts and set them in variables. You can refer and use them in Playbooks. If you'd like to confirm which kinds of variables set, it's possible to output with [setup] module like follows. |
