Hi all, I need to get the id of all available volumes in amazon aws, to make it I have created the following

You can use json\_query to create a list of just the volume IDs.

When you say “aws\_volume.volumes[0]”, you’re explicitly looking at only the first volume, so your statement “… and should show me all” is incorrect; it should show you only the first volume.

Try something like this (untested):

- name: “show”  
debug:  
msg: “{{ item.id }}”  
loop: “{{ aws\_volume.volumes }}”

I understand, I could make it work, but not by using the ec2 snapshot module.

I try to save a key as a variable but the result is empty

ok: [localhost] =\> {  
“ansible\_facts”: {  
“snap\_id”: “”  
},  
“changed”: false  
}

You need to first look at the registered out snapshot\_info to see what its dictionary looks like. After you snapshot the EC2, insert a debug: var=snapshot\_info to see what you are being given back. With that you can to then construct a proper reference to the snapshot\_id.

</div>

According to the ansible docs you get a single snapshot\_id.

snapshot\_info.snapshot\_id should get you the reference you need. It isn’t clear from the docs whether that is a list if the EC2 has multiple EBS volumes attached.

Are you missing a parameter “snapshot\_id” in your definition of “ec2\_snapshot”?

Please change this:

- name: “Debug”  
debug:

with\_items: “{{ snapshotid }}”

to this:

- name: “Debug”

So you can see the entire registered result returned from the prior task.

The register worked fine, but there’s a typo in your debug task, which you have not shown us.

Looks like the reference to snapshot\_id should be:

set\_fact:  
snap\_id: “{{ show\_id\_snapshot.results[0].snapshot\_id }}”

or to get a list if there are multiples:

set\_fact:  
snap\_id: {{ show\_id\_snapshot.results | json\_query(‘.snapshot\_id’) | list }}
