Ansible variable conditional behavior example: if-elif-else

gistfile1.txt

Nested if-else statements that replicate the elif capability:

- name: set_fact based on varible
    set_fact:
      colour_fruit: "{{ 'green' if fruit == 'apples' else 'yellow' if fruit == 'bananas' else 'unknown' }}"
      
      (A if True else B if True else C)

Can be nested further for additional elif's at the expense of readability
