Ansible equivalent for puppet's fqdn_rand()

Hi,

I’d like for cron entries to be run at different minutes based on e.g. hostname (would be nice to be easy to pick the seed). In puppet I would use fqdn_rand(). The best I could find for ansible is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33379378/idempotence-and-random-variables-in-ansible . Wouldn’t it make sense for this to be available as a jinja filter?

Cheers,
Paul
