Intersect and difference in Ansible

I have been trying to create a playbook that removes the resource record sets for terminated EC2 instances.

Other tasks can debug fine, but when it comes to intersect and difference to debug/list the common contents to keep and non-common to be removed, the output still brings the entire list of resource record sets. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

  • name: running Instances
    debug:
    msg: “{{item.0 | intersect(item.1)}}”
    with_items:

  • “{{record_sets |json_query(‘ResourceRecordSets.Name’)}}”

  • “{{running_ec2 |json_query(‘instances.tags.erp_url’)}}”

  • name: terminated Instances
    debug:
    msg: “{{item.0 | difference(item.1)}}”
    with_items:

  • “{{record_sets |json_query(‘ResourceRecordSets.Name’)}}”

  • “{{running_ec2 |json_query(‘instances.tags.erp_url’)}}”
