After more searching I also tried this:
---
- hosts: webservers
remote_user: ubuntu
tasks:
- name: create an ami
ec2_ami:
region: eu-west-2
instance_id: i-0771xxxxxxxxxx
name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}-{{
ansible_date_time.iso8601_basic_short }}"
tags:
Name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}-{{
ansible_date_time.iso8601_basic_short }}"
register: ami
- name: set ami id
set_fact:
new_ami_id: ami.results[0].image_id
- pause:
seconds: 60
- name: copy AMI to a different region
ec2_ami_copy:
source_region: eu-west-2
source_image_id: "{{ new_ami_id }}"
name: "{{ new_ami_id }}"
region: eu-west-1
But again, Ansible seems to interpret this literally:
ami.results[0].image_id
Rather than finding the ID of the newly created AMI.
