Setting a variable in one playbook and using that in another

[Akshay Kumar]

Hi Everyone,

Hope all are well .

I have a small query where in i want to know if i can set a variable in one playbook and use that in another playbook.

For eg 

Playbook1 : setting a var with output of shell

set_fact:

    var1: test

Playbook2

- debug:

      msg: "{{ var1 }}"

Note : i found one way that i can write these two playbooks and import both using one main playbook , that seems to perform the scenario(still need to test this though :-))

Other than this if anyone has had this scenario before or can provide some insight on this , please do share.

Thanks a lot.

dummy host to tie the variable to:
