Hi,  
I’d like to do something like the following:

`

- name: Wait for Security Group to be applied  
command: “aws rds describe-db-instances --db-instance-identifier {{ target\_db\_environment }}-mysql-db-{{ current\_time }} --output json”  
register: db\_info  
set\_fact:  
security\_group\_json: “{{ db\_info | from\_json }}”  
security\_group: “{{ security\_group\_json.DBInstances[0].VpcSecurityGroups[0].VpcSecurityGroupId }}”  
security\_group\_active: “{{ security\_group\_json.DBInstances[0].VpcSecurityGroups[0].Status }}”  
until: “{{ security\_group }} == ‘sg-XXXXXXXX’ && {{ security\_group\_active }} == ‘Active’”  
retries: 5  
delay: 5  
`

But I can’t mix the set\_fact in there like that. Is there any way, within the register two properties of the returned json? Otherwise is my only option a regex in the until that looks for both the security group and the Status=Active?
