在使用ansible做自動化運維的時候，免不了的要重複執行某些操作，如：添加幾個用戶，創建幾個MySQL用戶併爲之賦予權限，操作某個目錄下所有文件等等。好在playbooks支持循環語句，可以使得某些需求很容易而且很規範的實現。
with_items是playbooks中最基本也是最常用的循環語句。
- name: add several users
user: name={{ item }} state=present groups=wheel
with_items:
- testuser1
- testuser2上邊例子表示，添加兩個用戶分別爲testuser1,testuser2。
也可以將用戶列表提前賦值給一個變量，然後在循環語句中調用：
with_items: "{{ somelist }}"使用with_items迭代循環的變量可以是個單純的列表，也可以是一個可以迭代的較爲複雜的數據結構，如字典類型：
- name: add several users
user: name={{ item.name }} state=present groups={{ item.groups }}
with_items:
- { name: 'testuser1', groups: 'wheel' }
- { name: 'testuser2', groups: 'root' }嵌套循環
- name: give users access to multiple databases
mysql_user: name={{ item[0] }} priv={{ item[1] }}.*:ALL append_privs=yes password=foo
with_nested:
- [ 'alice', 'bob' ]
- [ 'clientdb', 'employeedb', 'providerdb' ]item[0]是循環的第一個列表的值['alice','bob']。item[1]是第二個列表的值。表示循環創建alice和bob兩個用戶，並且爲其賦予在三個數據庫上的所有權限。
也可以將用戶列表事先賦值給一個變量：
- name: here, 'users' contains the above list of employees
mysql_user: name={{ item[0] }} priv={{ item[1] }}.*:ALL append_privs=yes password=foo
with_nested:
- "`users`"
- [ 'clientdb', 'employeedb', 'providerdb' ]with_dict可以遍歷更復雜的數據結構：
如，有以下變量內容：
--- users: alice: name: Alice Appleworth telephone: 123-456-7890 bob: name: Bob Bananarama telephone: 987-654-3210
現在需要輸出每個用戶的用戶名和手機號
tasks:
- name: Print phone records
debug: msg="User {{ item.key }} is {{ item.value.name }} ({{ item.value.telephone }})"
with_dict: "{{ users }}"文件匹配遍歷
with_fileglob匹配單個目錄下所有文件
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
# first ensure our target directory exists
- file: dest=/etc/fooapp state=directory
# copy each file over that matches the given pattern
- copy: src={{ item }} dest=/etc/fooapp/ owner=root mode=600
with_fileglob:
- /playbooks/files/fooapp/*注：在角色中以相對路徑使用with_fileglob,ansible會將路徑解析爲role/<rolename>/files。

假如現在需要遍歷一個用戶列表，並創建每個用戶，而且還需要爲每個用戶配置以特定的SSH key登錄。變量文件內容如下：
--- users: - name: alice authorized: - /tmp/alice/onekey.pub - /tmp/alice/twokey.pub mysql: password: mysql-password hosts: - "%" - "127.0.0.1" - "::1" - "localhost" privs: - "*.*:SELECT" - "DB1.*:ALL" - name: bob authorized: - /tmp/bob/id_rsa.pub mysql: password: other-mysql-password hosts: - "db1" privs: - "*.*:SELECT" - "DB2.*:ALL"
playbooks中定義如下：
- user: name={{ item.name }} state=present generate_ssh_key=yes
with_items: "`users`"
- authorized_key: "user={{ item.0.name }} key='{{ lookup('file', item.1) }}'"
with_subelements:
- users
- authorized也可以遍歷嵌套的子列表：
- name: Setup MySQL users
mysql_user: name={{ item.0.user }} password={{ item.0.mysql.password }} host={{ item.1 }} priv={{ item.0.mysql.privs | join('/') }}
with_subelements:
- users
- mysql.hosts循環整數序列
with_sequence可以生成一個自增的整數序列，可以指定起始值和結束值，也可以指定增長步長。
參數以key=value的形式指定，format指定輸出的格式。
數字可以是十進制，十六進制，八進制。

# a simpler way to use the sequence plugin
# create 4 groups
- group: name=group{{ item }} state=present

with_random_choice可以從列表中隨機取一個值。
- debug: msg={{ item }}
with_random_choice:
- "go through the door"
- "drink from the goblet"
- "press the red button"
- "do nothing"Do-Until 循環
- action: shell /usr/bin/foo
register: result
until: result.stdout.find("all systems go") != -1
retries: 5
delay: 10上邊的例子重複執行shell模塊，當shell模塊執行的命令輸出內容中包含"all systems go"的時候停止執行。重試5次，延遲時間10秒。retries默認值爲3，delay默認值爲5。
任務的返回值爲最後一次循環的返回結果。
