Facts are simply things that are discovered about remote nodes. While they can be used in playbooks and templates just like variables, facts
|
||||
are things that are inferred, rather than set. Facts are automatically discovered by Ansible when running plays by executing the internal 'setup'
|
||||
module on the remote nodes. You never have to call the setup module explicitly, it just runs, but it can be disabled to save time if it is
|
||||
not needed. For the convenience of users who are switching from other configuration management systems, the fact module will also pull in facts from the 'ohai' and 'facter'
|

tools if they are installed, which are fact libraries from Chef and Puppet, respectively.
