Hi,

I want to use region attribute from below task for subsequent task but that attribute is not a part of output , so how I can use it next tasks.

- name: get aws vpc detailsec2\_vpc\_net\_info:  
aws\_access\_key: ##########  
aws\_secret\_key: #########  
region: us-east-1  
register: aws\_output

Region is input to the given module so I want to print that region. Please guide me how to print region its not a part of register. Thank you.

You can create a temporary variable to store both region and register value and then access that in subsequent tasks.

For example,

…

vars:  
vpcs:  
…  
tasks:

- name: Update register variable  
set\_fact:  
new\_vpcs: “{{ vpcs | combine({‘region’: ‘us-east-1’ }) }}”

…
