return value debug, VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED

I am attempting to parse through the return value but ansible is acting like the long JSON doesn't exist. I know there are similar problems like this but everything I have tried dosn't seem to work.

- name:
  community.vmware.vmware_host_config_info:
    esxi_hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    password: "{{ ansible_password }}"
    username: "{{ ansible_user }}"
    validate_certs: no
  register: config_info
  delegate_to: localhost
- debug:
    var: config_info

I have tried

No matter what I attempt, the best I can do is get a

VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED

I am trying to get the value of the fields i.e config_info.host_info[0].BufferCache.FlushInterval is what I would expect it to be.

{
  "changed": false,
  "hosts_info": {
    "localhost.localdomain": {
      "Annotations.WelcomeMessage": "",
      "BufferCache.FlushInterval": 30000,
      "BufferCache.HardMaxDirty": 95
  }
}

You have to use the bracket notation

bc_fi: "{{ config_info.hosts_info['localhost.localdomain']['BufferCache.FlushInterval'] }}"

gives

bc_fi: '30000'
