Hi All -

I’m trying iterate over a list of dicts stored in an external file.

My variables file (vpc.yml) is as follows:

Ok - It appears to be an issue with the indentation level of with_items - I’ve dropped if back a level but an now receiving:

`

TASK: [Create ASG for each zone] **********************************************
fatal: [127.0.0.1] => with_items expects a list or a set

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

`

how does region tie to eu-west-1?

Hi Brian - eu-west-1 is the region.

still, how does that become?

with_items: {{ region[environment] }}

also note that - is not a good character for variable names
