If facter or ohai are installed, variables from these programs will

variables are prefixed with ``facter_`` and ``ohai_`` so it's easy to

tell their source.
|
|
||||||
|
|

All variables are bubbled up to the caller. Using the ansible facts and choosing
|
.. raw:: html
|

to not install facter and ohai means you can avoid ruby-dependencies
|
|
||||||
on your remote systems.
