ec2_vpc module not idempotent

Archives Ansible Project

this module does not seem to be idempotent. Here is the documentation: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/ec2_vpc_module.html, which seems to indicate that VPC’s will NOT be created if a VPC already exists with equivalent resource_tags and cidr_block values.

Unfortunately, as many times as I run this role, it will create a new VPC.

Here is my usage:
`

  • name: create vpcs
    ec2_vpc:
    state: ‘{{ item.state }}’

region: ‘{{ item.region }}’
vpc_id: ‘{{ item.vpc_id }}’
cidr_block: ‘{{ item.cidr_block }}’
resource_tags: { “Name”: “{{item.name}}” }
subnets: ‘{{ item.subnets }}’
internet_gateway: ‘{{ item.internet_gateway }}’
route_tables:

  • subnets: ‘{{ item.route_tables.private_subnets.subnets }}’
    routes:
  • dest: ‘{{ item.route_tables.private_subnets.routes.dest }}’
    gw: ‘{{ item.route_tables.private_subnets.routes.gw }}’
  • subnets: ‘{{ item.route_tables.public_subnets.subnets }}’
    routes:
  • dest: ‘{{ item.route_tables.public_subnets.routes.dest }}’
    gw: ‘{{ item.route_tables.private_subnets.routes.gw }}’
    with_items: vpcs
    register: vpc

`

Thanks for any help/guidance.
