I would like that with each creation of vm of my csv file, it asks me for a confirmation o / n which I put in my prompt?

Example:

Would you like to create this vm “vmname” (o / n)? :

I would like him to ask me this question each time I create my vm, so each loop

My tasks is :

vars\_prompt:

- name: “choix\_utilisateur”  
prompt: “Do you want to create the VM ? (o/n) :”  
private: no  
default: “n”

tasks:

- name: read the csv file  
read\_csv:  
path: /root/Projet\_Ansible/roles/files/create\_vm.csv  
delimiter: ‘,’  
register: report\_csv  
delegate\_to: localhost

- name: “Create a virtual machine ESXI”  
vmware\_guest:  
hostname: “172.180.0.133”  
username: “root”  
password: “espoire”  
port: 443  
validate\_certs: no  
folder: “”  
name: “{{ vm.vmname }}”  
datacenter: “{{ vm.datacenter }}”  
state: poweredoff  
guest\_id: centos64Guest

# This is hostname of particular ESXi server on which user wants VM to be deployed

esxi\_hostname: “172.180.0.100”  
disk:

- size\_gb: “{{ vm.sizegb }}”  
type: thin  
datastore: “{{ vm.datastore }}”  
hardware:  
memory\_mb: “{{ vm.memory }}”  
num\_cpus: “{{ vm.numcpu }}”  
scsi: paravirtual  
networks:
- name: VM Network  
device\_type: vmxnet3  
register: deploy\_vm  
delegate\_to: localhost  
loop: “{{ report\_csv.list }}”  
loop\_control:  
loop\_var: vm  
when: choix\_utilisateur == “o” and inventory\_hostname in groups[‘ESXI’]

Someone have any idea please ??
