How to set environment variable with value obtained from ~/.aws/credentials?

[ZillaYT]

I'm using Ansible's s3 module, and it needs aws_access_key and aws_secret_key to work in my AWS environment, even though the page says they're not required. These values are in my $HOME/.aws/credentials file

[default]
aws_access_key_id = LAFHALFHLAHFLFAH
aws_secret_access_key = IRUPQORUQPORUQEPORUQPORUQEP

I want to get these values to set the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables. So how do I write an Ansible task to...

1. Read the contents of the $HOME/.aws/credentiials
2. Get the key/value pairs
3. Set the corresponding environment variables?

Thanks.

Sorry I can't help with reading the file but this is how I am setting environment variables to use with a shell line

 vars_prompt:

    - name: ABC_environment

      prompt: "Enter live or preprod to set environment"

      private: no

      when: ABC_environment is undefined

    - name: ABC_password

      prompt: "Enter the ABC Encryption key"

      private: yes

      when: ABC_password is undefined

  environment:

    ABCENV: "{{ ABC_environment }}"

    ABCPWD: "{{ ABC_password }}"

 - name: install ABC file

      shell: unzip -P ${ABCPWD} -o -d/application /tmp/ABC_files.zip ABC_${ABCENV}_application.file

      shell: sudo -u xyz install -o xyz -g xyz -m 550 /application/ABC_${ABCENV}_application /application/application.file

Hope this helps..

Thanks, I'm reading on lookup now, and that may be the way to go.
