Running ansible playbook to connect to ec2 instance and tasks locally.

[linuxbsdfreak]

Hi All,

I have the following playbook which i want to create

--- 
- hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: False
  vars_files:
     - ebs-aws/external_vars.yml
  tasks:
    - name: stop service

    - name: Connect to instance and unmount the vol
       
    - name: Detach vol from each instances
      ec2_vol:
        region: "{{ item.region }}"
        instance: "{{ item.instanceid }}"
        id: "{{ item.old_vol }}"
        aws_access_key: "{{ ec2_access_key }}"
        aws_secret_key: "{{ ec2_secret_key }}"
        instance: None
      with_items:
         - "{{ mappings }}"

    - name: Attach vol to each instances
      ec2_vol:
        region: "{{ item.region }}"
        instance: "{{ item.instanceid }}"
        id: "{{ item.new_vol }}"
        aws_access_key: "{{ ec2_access_key }}"
        aws_secret_key: "{{ ec2_secret_key }}"
        volume_type: gp2
        device_name: /dev/xvdh
      with_items:
         - "{{ mappings }}"

    - name: Connect to instance and mount the vol

    - name: start service

ebs-aws/external_vars.yml
mappings:
    - { publicip: '', old_vol: '', instanceid: '',  new_vol: '', region: '', az: '' }

I have a requirement  to connect to the public ip of the instance and stop the service and umount the volume and then detach the vol and reattach the volume and once done. Connect to the instance and remount the volume and start the service? The ec2 instances are not launched by ansible for it to register.

How do i accomplish this doing this per host basic?

Regards,
Kevin
