Ansibleでhostを跨いでset_factした変数を引き継ぐ

以外と調べても無かった（見つけられなかった）hostを跨いで設定した変数を利用する方法。
他には一時ファイルに書き出すなど方法もあるようですが簡易版。

localhostで設定した変数を、delegate_toでremotehostを指定すると参照できていますが、
そのままhosts: remotehostとすると参照できずに失敗する。
※最後のtaskがその失敗の様子。

---
- name: localhost-> get now time
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - name: get now time
      set_fact:
        now_time: "{{ lookup('pipe','date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S') }}"

    - debug:
        msg: "{{ now_time }}"

- name: localhost-> debug msg
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - debug:
        msg: "{{ now_time }}"

- name: localhost-> remotehost-> debug msg
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - debug:
        msg: "{{ now_time }}"
      delegate_to: test_remote_host
      delegate_facts: true

- name: remotehost-> debug msg
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    - debug:
        msg: "{{ now_time }}"

• 結果
