Hi,

I am creating AMI in AWS using ec2_ami module. I need to create the AMI and to give permissions to multiple accounts,however it failed. When I am doing it with one account it’s ok.
Below the code to create AMI with permission to 1 account which is working fine.

# Create AMI
- name: Create AMI
local_action:
module: ec2_ami
instance_id: “{{ item.id }}”
wait: yes
wait_timeout: 3600
aws_access_key: “{{ AWSAccessKey }}”
aws_secret_key: “{{ AWSSecretKey }}”
region: “{{ region }}”
name: “OCCM-AUTO-AMI-4-E2E -TEST - {{ date }}”
description: “OCCM automatically created ami for E2E”
launch_permissions:
user_ids: [‘66602923934’]
device_mapping:
- device_name: /dev/sda1
size: 50
volume_type: gp2

Could you please let me know how to pass multiple accounts to: user_ids ?

Thanks,
Shmulik.

You can use with_items as shown below
# Create AMI
- name: Create AMI
local_action:
module: ec2_ami
instance_id: “{{ item.id }}”
wait: yes
wait_timeout: 3600
aws_access_key: “{{ AWSAccessKey }}”
aws_secret_key: “{{ AWSSecretKey }}”
region: “{{ region }}”
name: “OCCM-AUTO-AMI-4-E2E -TEST - {{ date }}”
description: “OCCM automatically created ami for E2E”
launch_permissions:
user_ids: {{item}}
with_items:
- 66602923934
- 66602923934
- 66602923934
device_mapping:
- device_name: /dev/sda1
size: 50
volume_type: gp2

Thanks for the answer. I’ve done it but I got an error:
