Hello All,

I am trying to use ansible to read values from a csv file (source and destination) and then run commands using the shell module, but I am having no success. Please assist .

The playbook:

You're not running the *aws* command. You're testing the *aws* command
with *echo*. Actually, this is a good idea to see the commands before
you run them. Register the results and take a look at *stdout*.

In the module *command*, there is a couple of syntax problems
in the run-string. To make the syntax both simpler and easier to read
use the *folded style*. See
https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/#813-folded-style

The tasks below

    - command: >-
        echo
        aws s3 cp
        {{ item.source }}
        {{ item.destination }}
        --recursive --acl parameters --profile prod
      loop: "{{ s3list.list }}"
      register: out
    - debug:
        msg: "{{ out.results|map(attribute='stdout')|list }}"

should give you what you want

  msg:
  - aws s3 cp S3://mybucket/puppy/test.jpg S3://mybucket2/trying/
    --recursive --acl parameters --profile prod
  - aws s3 cp S3://mybucket/puppy/ds.jpg S3://mybucket3/trying/
    --recursive --acl parameters --profile prod
  - aws s3 cp S3://mybucket/puppy/as.jpg S3://mybucket4/trying/
    --recursive --acl parameters --profile prod
  - aws s3 cp S3://mybucket/puppy/was.jpg S3://mybucket5/trying/
    --recursive --acl parameters --profile prod
  - aws s3 cp S3://mybucket/puppy/qaes.jpg S3://mybucket6/trying/
    --recursive --acl parameters --profile prod

If this is what you want remove *echo* and run the *aws* command with
the option *--dryrun*

    - command: >-
        aws s3 cp
        {{ item.source }}
        {{ item.destination }}
        --dryrun --recursive --acl parameters --profile prod
      loop: "{{ s3list.list }}"
      register: out
    - debug:
        var: out

If everything is alright copy the files

    - command: >-
        aws s3 cp
        {{ item.source }}
        {{ item.destination }}
        --recursive --acl parameters --profile prod
      loop: "{{ s3list.list }}"
      register: out
    - debug:
        var: out

Notes:

* You can remove the option *--recursive* as long as you copy single
  files
* You'll have to replace *parameters* with actual values. See
  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3/cp.html
