Description: The ‘Module Return’ in Ansible refers to the output that a module returns after its execution. This output is crucial for understanding the result of the executed tasks, as it provides detailed information about the state of the operation, including whether it was successful or not, as well as any error or warning messages that may have arisen during the process. Each Ansible module is designed to perform a specific task, and the module return encapsulates not only the result of that task but also additional data that can be useful for debugging and auditing. The return structure typically includes fields such as ‘changed’, which indicates whether changes were made to the system, ‘failed’, which denotes if the task encountered an error, and ‘msg’, which may contain informative messages. This information is fundamental for task automation, as it allows system administrators and developers to make informed decisions based on the results of Ansible executions. Furthermore, the module return can be used in other parts of Ansible playbooks, facilitating the creation of more complex and dynamic workflows.
