I have vars where I put something like this:
vars/main.yml
hello_port: 80
world_port: 81
in my ansbile file I load the vars with
vars_files:
and after that I have task with iterate using with_items:
But I’ve got as output
hello_port
world_port
not the values.
Is there a way to evaluate the dynamically created variables name - to get the value?
I have vars where I put something like this:

- ./vars/main.ymland after that I have task with iterate using with_items:
- debug:
msg: "{{ (item + '_port') }}"
with_items: "{{ m_name }}"
What does the variable m_name contain?
But I've got as output
hello_port
world_port
I think your task is missing the lookup, i.e. it puts out the names of
the variable, that you want to get the value of.
Try this as the msg-line:
msg: "{{ [ (item + '_port') ] }}"
Or maybe you need to use hostvars syntax...

- debug:
msg: "{{ vars[item + '_port'] }}"
with_items: "{{ m_name }}"
