Hey Team, I am having a little trouble with some of the AMI Ansible Modules. Note: have only just started using Ansible 2.0+ It seems that when i use the ec2\_ami\_copy and ec2\_ami(destroy) it is doing it in pairs of 3. - item=msg - item=changed - item=results Just seeing if any of you have run into this issue and if anyone may know how to avoid making 3 copies of one image? Thanks in advanced! – see code and output below Code Block: #(This Creates 1 AMI) - name: Create an ami based off the ec2 instance ec2\_ami: instance\_id: “{{ item.id }}” region: “{{ ec2\_region }}” wait: yes name: ‘pre-{{ ami\_image\_type }}-{{ ec2\_tag\_Environment }}’ tags: Name: ‘base {{ ami\_image\_type }}’ Environment: ‘{{ ec2\_tag\_Environment }}’ Region: ‘{{ ec2\_region }}’ register: ami with\_items: ec2.instances changed\_when: ’ “AMI creation operation complete” not in ami.msg’ failed\_when: ‘“AMI name already present” in ami.msg’ #(This takes the AMI i just crested and copies it to the east region, however, makes 3 copies of it) - name: create/duplicate ami image in us-east-1 ec2\_ami\_copy: source\_region: “{{ ec2\_region }}” region: ‘us-east-1’ source\_image\_id: ‘{{ ami.results[0].image\_id }}’ name: ‘ubuntu-{{ ec2\_tag\_Environment }}’ tags: Name: ‘core {{ami\_image\_type}}’ Type: “{{ ami\_image\_type }}” Environment: “{{ ec2\_tag\_Environment }}” wait: yes register: image\_east with\_items: ami #(This removes the original ami, however, failes because it tries to remove 3 images) - name: remove pre-ami image ec2\_ami: region: “{{ ec2\_region }}” image\_id: “{{ ami.results[0].image\_id }}” delete\_snapshot: True state: ‘absent’ with\_items: ami Debug and Errors: **Create the AMI** \* TASK [ami-configure : Create an ami based off the ec2 instance] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* task path: /opt/jenkins/olab-ansible/ec2-blank/roles/ami-configure/tasks/main.yml:9 [DEPRECATION WARNING]: Using bare variables is deprecated.
