Register: (Ansible)

You can create variables from the output of an Ansible task with the task keyword.

• https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#registering-variables

If a task fails or is skipped, Ansible still registers a variable with a failure or skipped status, unless the task is skipped based on tags. See Tags for information on adding and using tags.
