Hi,

I see you already use facts cache:

```ini
fact_caching = jsonfile
fact_caching_connection = cache

```

Note that [`fact_caching_connection`](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#cache-plugin-connection) defines path of the json file you’re storing your facts in, so be sure this path is accessible to the user running you playbook.

Now, you’re showing output for a single run; subsequent ones should update cache and show you updated content in your debug task as well. Is that not the case ?  
If not, first ensure your are indeed using your ansible.cfg file, as [there might be precedence at play here](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/general_precedence.html#configuration-settings).

[Here](http://forum.ansible.com/t/dynamic-value-assignment-to-ansible-fact-based-on-condition/706/9) is an example playbook for a similar usecase; perhaps you’ll spot something missing, but your config is looking fine to me.
