EC2 with Volumes

Hi,

Another EC2 question, when creating an instance using the ‘ec2’ task and specifying the volumes inline is it possible to:

a) obtain the volume id’s of the newly created volumes?
b) or alternatively immediately tag the volumes?

Thanks,
Nico

This is something I really want to know :slight_smile:

AFAIK you can't do that using the ec2 module directly. However, you
can list all volume's ids using ec2_vol module, register the output to
a variable and tag it with ec2_tags (I think you may also need a
fairly recent version of ansible to be able to tag the volumes). I've
been using this at work to create instances with custom (large) disks
for databases without problems.
