Hi all,

I’ve been doing deep integration for pure cloudformation stack with ansible and thought that it’ll be nice to have jinja support for it.

Am I the first one which see benefits in having ex for loops in security groups to create ingress rules for list of IPs?

If anybody would be interested here (https://github.com/vorlock/ansible-modules-core) is what I did.

I think it’ll be a nice addition to have j2 support to make this crapy cfn stacks more DRY

Hi,

Got into the similar situation and it would be great to have such feature with jinja support, I noticed that this pull request is closed, could it be reopened ?

Hi,

I went for a different approach and the PR (https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/1562) was already merged. Using it you can use the template lookup to achieve what was discussed here. HTH
