Using ec2_facts inside a playbook syntax

[Vasiliy Boulytchev]

Folks, consider the following playbook:

##

- name: Gather facts

  action: ec2_facts

- debug: msg="{{ ec2_facts }}"

##

Produces a fatal error: `fatal: [10.1.15.119] => One or more undefined variables: 'ec2_facts' is undefined`

However, It does seem to be pulling in the ec2 metadata:

ok: [10.1.15.119] => {"ansible_facts": {"ansible_ec2_ami_id": "ami-f0091d...

How does one access this metadata instance a playbook?  I guess I need help with correct syntax.

Is this correct?  {{ ansible_facts.ansible_ec2_ami_id }} ?

Thanks!

ec2_facts return variables with name ansible_ec2*.

If you want to see all variables, try to use https://github.com/f500/ansible-dumpall

«{{ ansible_facts.ansible_ec2_ami_id }}» is wrong, use «{{ ansible_ec2_ami_id }}».
