I have below playbook which creates policy:

i have parameter called policy which has 5 values(" mirror", “vault”, “mirrorandvault”, “default”, “XDP”)  
i have put with\_sequence loop.  
i want this policy to be created with each loop.  
i tried ternary operator for 2 policies "type: “{{ (volume\_item|int \< 7)|ternary(‘mirror’, ‘vault’) }}” It worked.  
I am not sure about how to implement for 5 policies.

- hosts: localhost  
gather\_facts: false  
vars\_files:
- /etc/ansible/group\_vars/host\_vars

tasks:

- name: Create ONTAP/ONTAP SnapMirror  
na\_ontap\_snapmirror:  
state: present  
source\_volume: “{{ vserver }}vol\_{{ item }}”  
destination\_volume: “{{ vserver }}vol\_{{ item | int +15}}”  
source\_vserver: “{{ vserver }}”  
destination\_vserver: “{{ vserver }}”  
schedule: hourly  
policy:  
max\_transfer\_rate: 1000  
hostname: “{{ aiqumip }}”  
username: “{{ aiqumusername }}”  
password: “{{ aiqumpassword }}”  
with\_sequence: start=1 end=15
