This example illustrates that variables names can be created dynamically in an Ansible playbook.

Given we have a list of dictionaries representing DHCP Servers in our playbook. In this case, the list of DHCP servers was read from a spreadsheet and exposed as variables to the playbook.

ok: [localhost] => (item=dhcp_servers) => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "dhcp_servers": [
            {
                "addr": "203.0.113.17",
                "label": "DHCP_DC1_PRD"
