So i have a small problem, the only thing i have from the output of another tool is just an instance_id, along with its region. I need to grab some more information about the ec2 instance (such as the platform, tags, etc) in order to actually determine what inventory groups it belongs in.
Unfortunately i cannot figure out how to actually acquire facts about this through ansible. The ec2 module seems to be soly for the purpose of creating ec2 instances, and attempting to pass in region, instance_id, and state=present results in errors, about image not being defined. (which i get since if the ec2 instance doesn't exist it will create it). ec2_remote_facts only seems to work with ec2 instance tags/values, and unfortunately i don't have those. ec2_facts actually requires me to connect to the ec2 instance and gather facts locally. (which i can't do since i can't figure out the actual public_ip of the instance). Is there any other options/alternatives? (I know i can get it from the awscli tool and pipe the json into yaml and then into a variable, but that feels kind of gross). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
