Hello All,

I have been struggling with the past 3 hours trying to figure out why my ubuntu ec2 instances are not been created with the specified volume size.

I have been following the documentation http://d ocs.ansible.com/ansible/ec2_module.html .

The only difference in there is that it looks to reattach an existing snapshot of a EBS block.

My example is here on pastie http://pastie.org/10396629

I have tried using device_name like sda or xvda1 but no change.

Is it possible to actually specify the size of the ec2 instance root volume with ansible ec2 module?

Can anyone help?

Best Regards,

This does not seem to be possible right now, you can specify the size
of additional volumes but not resize the default root volume from ec2
instance creation.
A workaround is to create an ami with a root volume with the required size.
