Getting a handle of ec2-instances

I have provisioned an amazon instance using ec2 module. Now I need to do some more manipulation on the instance. So does ansible get a handle on the instance it just created?

Hi,

Hope these links help.

You should be able to register a var which will get return info from
the module, I believe this includes new instance ids.

A quick example

  • hosts: localhost
    connection: local
    gather_facts: False

tasks:

  • name: Provision a set of instances
    ec2:
    region: eu-central-1
    key_name: some_aws_key
    group: default
    instance_type: t2.micro
    image: ami-accff2b1

vpc_subnet_id: subnet-xxxxxxx

wait: yes

exact_count: 3
count_tag:
Name: Demo
instance_tags:
Name: Demo
test_tag: Demo
register: ec2_ip: yes

i - debug: var=ec2

  • name: Add instances to host group
    local_action: add_host hostname={{ item.public_ip }} groupname=my_group
    with_items: ec2.instances

  • name: Add tag to instances
    local_action: ec2_tag resource={{ item.id }} region=eu-central-1 state=present
    with_items: ec2.instances
    args:
    tags:
    Name: EP2

  • name: Add tag to instances
    local_action: ec2_tag resource={{ item.id }} region=eu-central-1 state=present
    with_items: ec2.instances
    args:
    tags:
    Name: EP2
