Not so much a question as a comment.

I would like to tag the ENIs I create with Ansible.

ENI’s certainly support tags, but the ec2\_eni module doesn’t have a “tags” attribute.

I was able to tag the interfaces using the ec2\_tag module, but it seems an odd omission not to be able to tag on creation.

- ec2\_tag:  
region: “{{ region }}”  
resource: ‘{{ item }}’  
state: present  
tags:  
Name: “{{ group\_name + ‘-’ + server\_name + ‘-primary-eni’ }}”  
GroupName: “{{ group\_name }}”  
with\_items: “{{ eni\_server\_primary\_facts.network\_interfaces[0].id }}”
