Thanks guys, Christian is your solution doable in a regular yml? I thought jinja constructs were only allowed in jinja templates? What I have is a regular .yml that defines all my variables.
Shawn I believe your solution requires creating a task to loop over my_dict, I prefer to do it outside of the playbook.
