Hey @Latchu, can you please describe what you mean by "take the AMI"?
Hi Kalgi,

i have found the solution as well created ansible-playbook. Its successfully created. Thanks pa. Below is ansible-playbook to create ami from ec2-instance.

---
- hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  become: yes
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
    region: us-east-1
    ins_name: Sample
    ami_name: Sample
  tasks:
    - name: To Get Instance Id
      command: "aws ec2 describe-instances
                --filters Name=tag:Name,Values={{ ins_name }}
                --query 'Reservations[0].Instances[0].InstanceId'
                --output text"
      register: instanceid

    - name: To Create AMI
      ec2_ami:
     --query 'Reservations[0].Instances[0].InstanceId'

What does this do?

Cloning an instance is very easily done using the console. Why use ansible?
launching instance or creating bucket also very easy. Then why should we use ansible? Because here  i deploying automatically everything using jenkins+ansible+docker+kubernetes and some times using packer tool too.
Yeah well, if you're trying to automate everything then ansible is a good approach.
