.. note:: When using ``loop_control.extended`` more memory will be utilized on the control node. This is a result of ``ansible_loop.allitems`` containing a reference to the full loop data for every loop. When serializing the results for display in callback plugins within the main ansible process, these references may be dereferenced causing memory usage to increase.
