ansible - v2.3.0  
boto3 - v1.4.4

I’m trying to create an EFS share in a non-default VPC in AWS.

- name: Create EFS share  
efs:  
state: present  
name: “my\_happy\_efs\_share”  
tags:  
name: “my\_happy\_efs\_share”  
targets:
- subnet\_id: subnet-xxxxxxx  
security\_groups: [“sg-xxxxxxx”]

If I provide the subnet\_id of a a subnet in the default VPC, it works. If the subnet exists in a non-default VPC, it fails with:  
botocore.errorfactory.SubnetNotFound: An error occurred (SubnetNotFound) when calling the CreateMountTarget operation: The subnet ID ‘subnet-1173763b’ does not exist

I recall reading something about boto3 and nondefault vpcs, but can’t find it now.

Is there a work-around?
