Welcome to using filters. Filters and plugins allow you to use Ansible in a more efficient way. And in this lesson, you'll find all you need to know about filters. To start with, there's a video that explains what filters are used for and how they relate to plugins. Next, you'll learn how filters and plugins are related to content collections. And after that we discuss filters and variable types and how filters can be used to change variables. Then you learn how filters can work with network addresses. And we'll cover a few examples in which filters provide a more flexible solution. At the end of this lesson you'll find a lab that allows you to practice using filters.
