There are 2 problems.

1) "efs\_info" says: "Note that the efs\_info module no longer returns  
ansible\_facts!"  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/efs\_info\_module.html#synopsis](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/efs_info_module.html#synopsis)

2) The underscore "\_" is missing in front of the variable "\_efs\_fact". Correct

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- set\_fact:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\_efs\_fact\_id: "{{ \_efs\_fact. ... }}"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But, first you might want to take a look at the content of the registered  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;variable and see what is available

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- debug:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var: \_efs\_fact

HTH,
