ansible.builtin.together lookup – merges lists into synchronized list
Note
This lookup plugin is part of ansible-core
and included in all Ansible
installations. In most cases, you can use the short
plugin name
together
.
However, we recommend you use the Fully Qualified Collection Name (FQCN) ansible.builtin.together
for easy linking to the
plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have
the same lookup plugin name.
Synopsis
Creates a list with the iterated elements of the supplied lists
To clarify with an example, [ ‘a’, ‘b’ ] and [ 1, 2 ] turn into [ (‘a’,1), (‘b’, 2) ]
This is basically the same as the ‘zip_longest’ filter and Python function
Any ‘unbalanced’ elements will be substituted with ‘None’
