Similar to the random filter, the shuffle filter can be used to produce randomized results. Unlike the random filter, which selects one random choice from a list, the shuffle filter will shuffle the items in a sequence and return the full sequence:
---
- name: demo the filters
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: shuffle the cards
debug:
msg: "{{ ['Ace', 'Queen', 'King', 'Deuce'] | shuffle }}"
The output is shown in the following screenshot:
As expected, we see the whole list returned, but with the order shuffled.
