I am a newbie with ansible. Currently i have shell script to purge the rds snapshots if expiration tag is matching the current date.

This is how script looks like:

#!/bin/bash

date=$(date +%F)
echo $date

get_rds() {
aws rds describe-db-snapshots --snapshot-type manual --query “DBSnapshots.[DBSnapshotArn]” --output text
}

remove_rds_using_tags() {
expire=$(aws rds list-tags-for-resource --resource-name “$1” --query ‘TagList[?Key==expiration].Value’)
if [ “$expire” != “” ]
then
expire=$(echo $expire | cut -c4-)
echo $expire
expire=${expire:0:-3}
echo $expire
if [ “$expire” == “$date” ]
then
echo “Expiration date matching the current date… Proceeding with Purging”
snapshotid=$(echo “$1” | rev | cut -d’:’ -f1 | rev)
echo $snapshotid
aws rds delete-db-snapshot --db-snapshot-identifier $snapshotid
else
echo “Expiration date not matching the current date”
fi
else
echo “No expiration tag for the snapshot”
fi

}

for id in $(get_rds)
do
echo $id
remove_rds_using_tags $id
echo “”
done

what you really want to do is use the script module

The correct link for the script module is https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/modules/script_module.html

The previous link is for the script plugin.
