      Use ansible_facts to reference facts · f639ad0b
      Mark Goddard authored
      By default, Ansible injects a variable for every fact, prefixed with
      ansible_. This can result in a large number of variables for each host,
      which at scale can incur a performance penalty. Ansible provides a
      configuration option [0] that can be set to False to prevent this
      injection of facts. In this case, facts should be referenced via
      ansible_facts.<fact>.
      
      This change updates all references to Ansible facts within Kayobe
      from using individual fact variables to using the items in the
      ansible_facts dictionary. This allows users to disable fact variable
      injection in their Ansible configuration, which may provide some
      performance improvement.
      
      This change disables fact variable injection in the ansible
      configuration used in CI, to catch any attempts to use the injected
      variables.
