Hi Team,

I would like to know the approach to attach more than then the same volume to ec2 generated from a single snapshot only.

I did achieve generating a single volume and attaching it to ec2 from the snapshot.

amazon.aws.ec2\_vol:  
instance:   
snapshot:   
tags:   
volume\_type:

Take a look at the ec2\_instance module. It has a volumes parameter.

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/amazon/aws/ec2\_instance\_module.html#ansible-collections-amazon-aws-ec2-instance-module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/amazon/aws/ec2_instance_module.html#ansible-collections-amazon-aws-ec2-instance-module)

I don’t know if you can launch from a snapshot AND attach multiple additional volumes in a single task using this. Worth checking into.
