I need to go through my EC2 fleet and ensure certain tags are applied on ebs volumes. I have a conformance Playbook that goes through all the db nodes.

ansible-playbook -i ec2.py -l tag\_role\_db db.yml

I’m a little uncertain how I’d go through each host and find all attached volumes and then use ec2\_tag to ensure tags.

I think I can use ec2\_vol\_facts:

- name: gather volume facts  
ec2\_vol\_facts:  
filters: instance-id: {{ ec2\_id }}

But I’m not sure what’s returned or how to use that as a with\_items.

Hoping to find some examples or some pointers.
