Ansible filters

In Ansible, Jinja2 filters are powerful tools that extend the functionality of the Ansible control node. They allow for performing alterations on variables or configuration files. Ansible filters operate at a variable level and enable the manipulation of data. These filters provide a range of capabilities to modify, transform, and manipulate data within Ansible playbooks and templates, enhancing the overall flexibility and control over variables and configurations.
