You can register the task result to a specific variable, however the docker_container module also creates an ansible_facts variable aptly called docker_container

So using this variable, you can return various values, for example:

  - debug:
      var: docker_container.State.ExitCode

  - debug:
      var: docker_container.State.Status

  - debug:
      var: docker_container.Output

Note that if you want to see the stdout of the container using docker_container.Output, then you need to add the detach argument to your task. For example:

  - name: Create a data container
    docker_container:
      name: mydeploycontainer
      image: 1111112222.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/someteam/app-deploy:v.1
      env:
        name1: "value1"
        name2: "value2"
        name3: "value3"
      detach: false
    register: mydeploycontainer_result

The example above also shows how to register the task result to a variable named mydeploycontainer_result. This would allow you to save the result of multiple container deployments.
