ansible_. This can result in a large number of variables for each host, which at scale can incur a performance penalty. Ansible provides a configuration option [0] that can be set to False to prevent this injection of facts. In this case, facts should be referenced via ansible_facts.. This change updates all references to Ansible facts from using individual fact variables to using the items in the ansible_facts dictionary. This allows users to disable fact variable injection in their Ansible configuration, which may provide some performance improvement.

By default, Ansible injects a variable for every fact, prefixed with
ansible_. This can result in a large number of variables for each host,
which at scale can incur a performance penalty. Ansible provides a
configuration option [0] that can be set to False to prevent this
injection of facts. In this case, facts should be referenced via
ansible_facts..
This change updates all references to Ansible facts from using
individual fact variables to using the items in the
ansible_facts dictionary. This allows users to disable fact variable
injection in their Ansible configuration, which may provide some
performance improvement.
