Find VPC ID of a VPC on AWS
Module ec2_vpc_net_info
returns a list of VPCs that looks like this:
"vpcs": [
{
"cidr_block": "172.31.0.0/16",
...
"state": "available",
"tags": {
"Name": "Default"
},
"vpc_id": "vpc-c4c7abcd"
},
{
"cidr_block": "10.1.0.0/24",
...
"state": "available",
"tags": {
"Name": "echong-vpc"
},
"vpc_id": "vpc-070c059d2b78d1234"
}
]
For exmple, to get the vpc_id
of variable name vpc_name
, we can use json_query:
- name: Find VPC ID matching vpc_name
debug:
msg: ""
vars:
_query: "[?tags.Name == ''].vpc_id"
Of course, it will be easier to just use filter in ec2_vpc_net_info
module:
- name: Gather VPC info with filter
amazon.aws.ec2_vpc_net_info:
aws_secret_key: ""
aws_access_key: ""
region: ""
filters:
"tag:Name": ""
register: _vpc_info
