Answer 1

Given the data below for testing
acm:
certificates:
- domain_validation_options:
- resource_record: {name: aaa, value: 1}
- domain_validation_options:
- resource_record: {name: bbb, value: 2}
- domain_validation_options:
- resource_record: {name: ccc, value: 3}
Get the name/value pairs in a single query
_query: 'certificates[*].domain_validation_options[].[resource_record.name,
resource_record.value]'
csv: "{{ acm|json_query(_query)|map('join', ',')|list }}"
give
csv:
- aaa,1
- bbb,2
- ccc,3
You can write the lines into a file
- lineinfile:
dest: /tmp/cname.csv
line: "{{ item }}"
loop: "{{ csv }}"
gives
shell> cat /tmp/cname.csv
aaa,1
bbb,2
ccc,3
Example of a complete playbook
- hosts: localhost
vars:
acm:
certificates:
- domain_validation_options:
- resource_record: {name: aaa, value: 1}
- domain_validation_options:
- resource_record: {name: bbb, value: 2}
- domain_validation_options:
- resource_record: {name: ccc, value: 3}
_query: 'certificates[*].domain_validation_options[].[resource_record.name,
resource_record.value]'
csv: "{{ acm|json_query(_query)|map('join', ',')|list }}"
tasks:
- lineinfile:
dest: /tmp/cname.csv
line: "{{ item }}"
loop: "{{ csv }}"
Read the file
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- community.general.read_csv:
path: /tmp/cname.csv
fieldnames: cname,value
delimiter: ','
register: cname
- debug:
var: cname.list
gives
cname.list:
- {cname: aaa, value: '1'}
- {cname: bbb, value: '2'}
- {cname: ccc, value: '3'}
You can see that the values are strings now. If you want to keep values as integers store the data in YAML format
- hosts: localhost
vars:
acm:
certificates:
- domain_validation_options:
- resource_record: {name: aaa, value: 1}
- domain_validation_options:
- resource_record: {name: bbb, value: 2}
- domain_validation_options:
- resource_record: {name: ccc, value: 3}
_query: 'certificates[*].domain_validation_options[].[resource_record.name,
resource_record.value]'
csv: "{{ acm|json_query(_query)|map('join', ': ')|list }}"
tasks:
- lineinfile:
dest: /tmp/cname.yml
line: "{{ item }}"
loop: "{{ csv }}"
gives
shell> cat /tmp/cname.yml
aaa: 1
bbb: 2
ccc: 3
Read the file
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- include_vars:
file: /tmp/cname.yml
name: cname_dict
- debug:
var: cname_dict
gives
cname_dict:
aaa: 1
bbb: 2
ccc: 3
