3 Hints and a Solution

Gimme a hint!

• Hint 1: Your name is being compared to the current item in the loop.

Need another hint?

• Hint 2: You'll need to confirm that your name and the current item are the same.

Want another hint?

• Hint 3: Use == to compare your name to the current item.

Want the answer?

• Hint 4: Use the when condition like this:

    - name: Print that only YOUR name is awesome
      debug:
        msg: "{{ item }} is awesome!"
      loop: "{{ names_list }}"
      when: item == "YourName"

Replace "YourName" with your actual name.
