Hello All,

I have a ansible playbook that run successfully except the last step which is to delete EBS voumes from a server.

1)It launches a server  
2Gets the facts about the ec2 instances

3)kills the server and kills the volumes(not working)  
I ran the playbook in verbose mode and got the message “invalid ID”, but the volume ID actually still exists

The full traceback is:  
File “/tmp/ansible\_ec2\_vol\_payload\_qf28\_wyv/ansible\_ec2\_vol\_payload.zip/ansible/modules/cloud/amazon/ec2\_vol.py”, line 572, in main
