In Ansible, if I try to use a variable as a parameter name, or a key name,
it is never resolved. For example, if I have `{{ some_var }}: true`, or:
template: "{{ resolve_me_to_src }}": "some_src"
the variables will just be used literally and never resolve. My specific
use case is using this with the ec2 module, where some of my tag names are
stored as variables:
- name: Provision a set of instances
ec2:
group: "{{ aws_security_group }}"
instance_type: "{{ aws_instance_type }}"
image: "{{ aws_ami_id }}"
region: "{{ aws_region }}"
vpc_subnet_id: "{{ aws_vpc_subnet_id }}"
key_name: "{{ aws_key_name }}"
wait: true
count: "{{ num_machines }}"
instance_tags: { "{{ some_tag }}": "{{ some_value }}", "{{
other_tag }}": "{{ other_value }}" }
Is there any way around this? Can I mark that I want to force evaluation
somehow?
