ansible 2.3.0.0

I’m trying to create multiple ec2 volumes on a single instances. I’ve tried the following variations:volumes:

- device\_name: /dev/xvda  
volume\_type: gp2  
volume\_size: 40  
delete\_on\_termination: true
- device\_name: /dev/xvdb  
volume\_type: ephemeral  
volume\_size: 120  
delete\_on\_termination: true  
encrypted: true  
ephemeral: ephemeral0

volumes:

- device\_name: /dev/xvda  
volume\_type: gp2  
volume\_size: 40  
delete\_on\_termination: true
- device\_name: /dev/xvdb  
volume\_type: gp2l  
volume\_size: 120  
delete\_on\_termination: true  
encrypted: true  
ephemeral: ephemeral0

volumes:

- device\_name: /dev/xvda  
volume\_type: gp2  
volume\_size: 40  
delete\_on\_termination: true  
ephemeral: ephemeral0
- device\_name: /dev/xvdb  
volume\_type: ephemeral  
volume\_size: 120  
delete\_on\_termination: true  
encrypted: true  
ephemeral: ephemeral1

and when I ssh onto the instances and run lsblk only the root volume is there. There has to be a way to mount ‘local’ ssd to the ec2 instances.

I’m trying to add an instance storage type as one of the drives.
