What is the way to access shell environment variables in ansible?
Answer Posted / Manoj Kumar Tiwari
To access shell environment variables in Ansible, you can use the `env` keyword or the `set_fact` module. The `env` keyword allows you to pass environment variables as a dictionary to your tasks or plays. For example: `- env: VARIABLE=value`. You can also define environment variables using `set_fact` in a playbook, making them available for later use:
```yaml
- hosts: myhost
vars:
MYVAR: some_value
tasks:
- debug: var=MYVAR"
```
