merge 2 arrays into array of dictionaries

[abel.makko...@gmail.com]

I have 2 arrays

"containers": [
            "ContainerA", 
            "ContainerA", 
            "ContainerB", 
            "ContainerB"
        ]

"apps": [
            "app2", 
            "app1", 
            "app2", 
            "app1"
        ]


I would like to merge them into an array of dictionaries like this ( I assume with set_fact ):

services:
- { container: 'ContainerA', app: 'app2' }
- { container: 'ContainerA', app: 'app1' }
- { container: 'ContainerB', app: 'app2' } 
- { container: 'ContainerB', app: 'app1' }

How can I do that?

How do you plan on using this data.  Maybe there is a different way to achieve your result, because it won't be easy or straight forward to get what you want.

Maybe with_together on a task could give you what you want instead:

- debug: var=item

  with_together:

    - apps

    - containers

I plan to use it in a template like so:

{% for source in services %}

container={{source.container}}

app={{source.app}}

{% endfor %}

Perhaps the following will achieve your goal:

{% for source in lookup('together', containers, apps, wantlist=True) %}

container={{ source.0 }}

app={{ source.1 }}

{% endfor %}
