Hi all
I’m trying to make some kind of automation to create an AMI out of an EC2 instance. So I have this chunk that creates the instance:
`
- name: Launch an Ubuntu 14.04 EC2 instance
hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: no
tasks: - name: Find the latest Ubuntu AMI
ec2_ami_search: distro=ubuntu release=trusty region=ap-southeast-1 store=ebs-ssd virt=hvm
register: ubuntu_image - name: Start the new EC2 instance
ec2:
image: “{{ ubuntu_image.ami }}”
region: ap-southeast-1
zone: ap-southeast-1b
instance_type: t2.small
vpc_subnet_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
group_id: [‘sg-xxxxxxxx’, ‘sg-xxxxxxx’]
key_name: random_key
wait: yes
wait_timeout: 500
register: ec2 - name: Add the new instance to host group
add_host: hostname={{ item.private_ip }} groupname=launched
with_items: ec2.instances - name: Wait for SSH to come up on the new instance
wait_for: host={{ item.private_ip }} port=22 delay=60 timeout=320 state=started
with_items: ec2.instances
`
Then I try to use the instance and generate an AMI out of that:
`
-
name: Create an AMI from the provisioned instance
hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: no
tasks: -
ec2_ami: region=ap-southeast-1 instance_id={{ item.id }} wait=no name=basebox-2000000
with_items: -
ec2.instances
-
name: Delete the instance now that the AMI is created
hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: no
tasks: -
ec2:
region: ap-southeast-1
instance_ids: “{{ item.id }}”
state: ‘absent’
with_items: -
ec2.instances
`
But I get errors like this:
`
TASK: [ec2_ami region=ap-southeast-1 instance_id={{ item.id }} wait=no name=basebox-2000000] ***
fatal: [localhost] => One or more undefined variables: ‘str object’ has no attribute ‘id’
`
I guess I’m missing something with iterating over a hash but can’t figure what. Any ideas?
