hi all.
I figured out why I was having that issue.
The problem was into the jinja2 templates where I found out that if I line
starts with # it's not interpreted as a comment and so why ansible kept
throwing errors on undefined variable.
ISSUE
[control:vars]
*#kolla_external_vip_interface="{{ network_interface }}" <-------------
WRONG *
so here the playbook had issues with undefined variable (network_interface)
but cause for me was commented I couldn't understand the error.
FIX
[control:vars]
*{#kolla_external_vip_interface="{{ network_interface }}"##} <---------
RIGHT*
This is a proper comment which now doesn't appear in the target file.
Cheers
