Hi Prasanna!

Can you copy and paste the relevant code that the error is coming from?

Prasanna,

That is not useful, so I am going to make a guess.

Based on this, you are probably using this sensible module:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/amazon/aws/ec2_instance_module.html#ansible-collections-amazon-aws-ec2-instance-module

Based on the error, it is likely you are using image, which requires the value be passed as a dictionary. So either the value is passed as a dictionary or you simply use image_id - like this from the example:

- name: start an instance with a public IP address
  amazon.aws.ec2_instance:
    name: "public-compute-instance"
    key_name: "prod-ssh-key"
    vpc_subnet_id: subnet-5ca1ab1e
    instance_type: c5.large
    security_group: default
    network:
      assign_public_ip: true
    **image_id: ami-123456**
    tags:
      Environment: Testing
