Error provisioning RDS instance

[Guy Knights]

I'm getting the following error when I use the rds module:

failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/guy/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1436911513.8-147068920945542/rds", line 2822, in <module>

boto.exception.JSONResponseError: JSONResponseError: 400 Bad Request

{'RequestId': '673d1f59-2a74-11e5-af29-2dbda5511805', 'Error': {'Message': 'The parameter Filter: db-instance-id is not a valid identifier. Identifiers must begin with a letter; must contain only ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens; and must not end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.', 'Code': 'InvalidParameterValue', 'Type': 'Sender'}}

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

The task config is as follows:

    - name: provision rds master

      rds:

        command: create

        instance_name: "{{ wl_name }}_db_master"

        db_engine: MySQL

        db_name: "{{ db_name }}"

        instance_type: db.m3.large

        username: "{{ db_username }}"

        password: "{{ wl_name}}_db_password"

        size: 50

        wait: yes

        wait_timeout: 600

        multi_zone: no

        subnet: "{{ wl_name }}-rds-sg"

        tags:

          Application: "{{ wl_name }}"

          Environment: prod

        region: us-west-1

I guess it's a problem with the lookup to check if the instance already exists, but I'm not sure what it's supposed to be using as the lookup parameter. Does anyone know why it's wrong, and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Guy

The error message here is the RDS API, and it suggests to me that the instance_name contains invalid characters. The API response says that RDS instance identifiers must have "only ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens; and must not end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens".

The underscore character that you have in the instance_name is not in that list of valid characters.

Ahhh.....thank you! That was the issue after all. I changed the instance name and it fixed the problem. I was confused because it was talking about parameter filters.

Thanks again,

Guy
