Dynamic Variables

[Rodolfo González Romero]

Hi i'm able to create dynamic facts but i have a problem using them in other task

i set the facts like this:

- name: set security_groups facts

  set_fact:

    "{{ item.item.name | replace('-', '_') }}_group":

      name: "{{ item.item.name }}"

      group_id: "{{ item.group_id }}"

      rules: "{{ item.item.rules }}"

      state: "{{ item.item.state }}"

  with_items: ec2_groups.results

and are accessible calling like this

- debug: var=monitor_server_group

- debug: var=monitor_test_1_group

- debug: var=monitor_test_2_group

but when i try to do this

- name: Create EC2 instances per subnets

  ec2:

    profile: "{{ boto_profile }}"

    key_name: "{{ item[1].name }}"

    region: "{{ vpc.region }}"

    group_id: "{{ item[1].name | replace('-', '_') ~ '_group' }}.group_id"

    instance_type: "{{ item[1].instance_type }}"

    image: "{{ item[1].ami }}"

    vpc_subnet_id: "{{ item[0] }}"

    monitoring: yes

    wait: yes

    instance_tags:

      env: "{{ linio_environment }}"

      Name: "{{ item[1].name }}"

      role: "{{ item[1].role }}"

      group: "{{ item[1].host_group }}"

      cap_stage: "{{ item[1].role }}"

    count_tag: "{{ item[1].name }}"

    exact_count: "{{ item[1].instances }}"

  with_nested:

    - vpc.subnets.security.private_subnet_ids

    - ec2_instances_configuration

  register: api_instances_facts

i got:

<Response><Errors><Error><Code>InvalidGroupId.Malformed</Code><Message>Invalid id: "monitor_test_2_group.group_id"

how can i use the name as variable object instead of a string
