I have an ansible task to create a user and instead of specifying UID class as shown below, it has to pick from the a free range between (1000-1099) and has to assign the next available UID in a sequential order, how to do this ?
- name: create user and group
user:
name: user
shell: /bin/bash
uid: 1000

You usually want automation tasks to be predictable, repeatable and idempotent. Any real reason for "floating" UID requirement?

Doesn'tusermodule work the way you described by default? Of course, with the exception of the upper limit, which makes the whole task impossible to implement, mainly because your specification is lacking details what should happen if no uids from the range are available.
