Random var and lenguage reference

[Josu Vilda]

Hi,

I would like to get a 3 digit random number, for example 001.
I have come to get:

  tasks:
     - name: We assign a fixed random variable throughout the execution.
       set_fact:
          Random_Fix: "{{ 100 | random }}"
       run_once: yes

¿Which language uses "{{100 | random}}" or where can I find reference for this language?

I have been listening for a long time how easy it is to work with ansible, but at the moment it is not being.

In Ansible {{ }} indicate templating, "language" is Jinja[1].
Ansible extend Jinja with some custom filters[2] and replaces some of the default filters in Jinja, random is such a filter.
