Multiple volumes attach to ec2 from single snapshot

[Parth Patel]

Hi Team,

I would like to know the approach to attach more than then the same volume to ec2 generated from a single snapshot only. 

I did achieve generating a single volume and attaching it to ec2 from the snapshot. 

amazon.aws.ec2_vol:
    instance: <id>
    snapshot: <id>
    tags: <tags>
    volume_type: <gp2>

Take a look at the ec2_instance module. It has a volumes parameter.

I don't know if you can launch from a snapshot AND attach multiple additional volumes in a single task using this. Worth checking into.
