ec2_vpc_route_table - how to configure a local route

[Gerald Preissler]

Hi, I'm trying to set up a VPC in AWS using Ansible. I'm running into a problem when I try to create a route table that should route packets to local. The following does not work:

- name: create route table for private subnets
  ec2_vpc_route_table:
     vpc_id: "{{ vpc_id }}"
     tags:
       Name: "{{ vpc_name }}-private"
     subnets:
     - "{{ vpc_subnet_ids['private-a'] }}"
     routes:
     - dest: 0.0.0.0/0
       gateway_id: "local"

This results in the error message "The gateway ID 'local' does not exist".

When I create the route table I want manually using the AWS Console and examine it with ec2_vpc_route_table_info, I get the following:

                "routes": [
                    {
                        "destination_cidr_block": "10.0.0.0/16",
                        "gateway_id": "local",
                        "instance_id": null,
                        "interface_id": null,
                        "network_interface_id": null,
                        "origin": "CreateRouteTable",
                        "state": "active"
                    },

My Google-Fu is too weak to find a solution, does anyone have any hints?

I noticed in the meantime that the RouteTable automatically contains a route to the local network so there is no need to create one specifically.
