Ansible - List Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Groups using the ec2_security_group module

Updated:   |  Ansible articles

If you are not familiar with modules, check out Ansible - Getting Started with Modules.

Prerequisites

ec2_security_group can be used to list your Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Groups.

  • If the Security Group already exists, JSON with the details of the Security Group will be returned
  • If the Security Group does not exist, the Security Group will be created
---
- name: main play
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
  - name: return JSON for my-security-group
    amazon.aws.ec2_security_group:
      name: my-security-group
      description: my-security-group
      state: present
    register: my_security_group

  - debug:
      var: my_security_group
...

 

Something like this should be returned.
