Hi all,
I've been looking for the best way to achieve what is mentioned in the title of the message but haven't found any. At least not one that will produce a satisfactory result which can be used further down in the same playbook.
For example I've been testing the following loop:
- name: create instance
ec2: image="{{ images[item.0.region] }}"
keypair={{ keypair }}
instance_type={{ instance_type }}
instance_tags="{{ tags }}"
vpc_subnet_id={{ item.1.subnet }}
region={{ item.0.region }}
group_id={{ group_id }}
assign_public_ip=yes
wait=true
wait_timeout={{ wait_timeout }}
with_subelements:
- vpc
- subnets
when: item.0.name == ec2_env
register: ec2_info
which does what I want, launches one instance per AZ in the chosen region, but the output registered is way too complicated to be of any use:

wouldn't ec2_asg do that automatically for you ?

Thanks Benno, that's a good point, I usually associate ASG with launch config but for sure it is another way to do it.
