Playbook to gather ec2 asg facts AWS auto scaling group

Question

I need to gather ec2_asg_facts about a particular AWS auto scaling group. How do I write a playbook for the same?

Answer 1

Hey @Neya, try something like this:

---
- name: Create a new Demo EC2 instance
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: False

  tasks:

    - name: Find ASG in AWS
      ec2_asg_facts:
         aws_access_key: ------------------------
         aws_secret_key: ----------------------
         region: us-east-1
      register: auto_scaling_group
      register: ec2_asg_facts_results
    - name: Create list of instance_ids
      set_fact:
       ec2_asg_instance_ids: "{{ ec2_asg_facts_results.results[0].instances | map(attribute='instance_id') | list }}"
    - name: EC2 facts
      ec2_remote_facts:
       region: us-east-1
       aws_access_key: ---------------------------------
       aws_secret_key: ---------------------------------
       filters:
           instance-id: "{{ ec2_asg_instance_ids.instances[0].interfaces | map(attribute='id') }}"
