I have one ec2 instance(**instance\_A)**, and I have to create one more new ec2 instance( **instance\_B** ) using instance\_A ec2\_fact.

to get facts of ec2 I am using the **ec2\_instance\_facts** module.on **instance\_A** have multiple security groups which I want to add on **instance\_B** on creation time.

I am not able to figure it out how to add all security group of instance\_A to instance\_B

Can you help me with this problem?

here is ec2\_facts result.
