Ansible Facts in AWS

After logging into the EC2 instance, run su - ansible to become the ansible user. The password is the same as it is for cloud_user.

Create and edit the playbook such that it resembles the following:

- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
vars_files:
- /home/ansible/keys.yml
tasks:
- name: Get VPC facts
 ec2_vpc_net_facts:
   aws_access_key: "{{ AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}"
   aws_secret_key: "{{ AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}"
   region: "{{ AWS_REGION }}"
 register: vpc_facts
- name: Add line to facts.txt
 lineinfile:
   path: /home/ansible/facts.txt
   line: "VPC ID: {{ vpc_facts.vpcs[0].vpc_id }}"

- name: Get VPC Subnet Facts
 ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:
   aws_access_key: "{{ AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}"
   aws_secret_key: "{{ AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}"
   region: "{{ AWS_REGION }}"
   filters:
     vpc-id: "{{ vpc_facts.vpcs[0].vpc_id }}"
 register: subnet_facts
- name: Add line to facts.txt
 lineinfile:
   path: /home/ansible/facts.txt
   line: "Subnet ID: {{ subnet_facts.subnets[0].subnet_id }}"

- name: Get EC2 instance facts
 ec2_instance_facts:
   aws_access_key: "{{ AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}"
   aws_secret_key: "{{ AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}"
   region: "{{ AWS_REGION }}"
   filters:
     tag:Name: "Leo"
 register: ec2_facts

- name: Get Security Group facts
 ec2_group_facts:
   aws_access_key: "{{ AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}"
   aws_secret_key: "{{ AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}"
   region: "{{ AWS_REGION }}"
   filters:
     group-id: "{{ ec2_facts.instances[0].security_groups[0].group_id }}"
 register: security_group_facts
- name: Add line to facts.txt
 lineinfile:
   path: /home/ansible/facts.txt
   line: "Security Group Rule Set: {{ security_group_facts.security_groups[0].ip_permissions }}"
