I just recently updated to 2.3.1.0. I've used set_fact before the upgrade to set my AWS instance ID to a variable "coreaid".
- name: Save instance ID to coreaid set_fact: coreaid: "{{ ec2_asg.instances }}" - debug: msg="the id= {{ coreaid }}" - name: Set the instance public IP to a variable register: instance_public_ip shell: sudo aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=instance-id,Values='{{ coreaid }}'" --query 'Reservations[*].Instances[*].[PublicIpAddress]' --output text I set the fact, and it's correct: ok: [local] => { "ansible_facts": { "coreaid": [ "i-XXXXX" When I debug or use it later in the play the value is: ok: [local] => { "msg": "the id= [u'i-XXX']" What am I doing that is causing the "[u' to be added to the beginning of the instance ID?
