Ansible Not Properly Evaluating Filter Using Less Than For OS Version

I’m attempting to get Ansible to check CentOS and RedHat OS versions. If the version is less than 7.9 then it will list: Hostnames - OS Version in an email. However, Ansible does not appear to be evaluating this properly because I receive an email list of machines with version 7.9.:

VMGUEST03 - REDHAT 7.8
VMGUEST01 - REDHAT 7.9
VMGUEST02 - REDHAT 7.8

Does anyone know how I can correct this?

Here’s my Playbook:

  • name: COLLECT INFORMATION ON ALL MACHINES
    set_fact:
    machine_info:
    “{% for host in ansible_play_batch %}{% if ansible_facts.distribution_version | float < 7.9 %}{{ hostvars[host][‘ansible_hostname’] }} - {{ hostvars[host][‘ansible_distribution’] }} {{ hostvars[host][‘ansible_distribution_version’] }}
    {% endif %}{% endfor %}”
    run_once: yes
    ignore_errors: True
