Hi Stuart
This works fine for me with Ansible 1.8 onwards:
- name: Create an AMI from the provisioned instance
ec2_ami: region=ap-southeast-1 instance_id={{ item.id }}
name=baseami-{{ timestamp.stdout }} wait=yes wait_timeout=600
with_items:
- "{{ ec2.instances }}"
register: instance
- name: Delete the instance now that the AMI is created
ec2:
region: ap-southeast-1
instance_ids: "{{ ec2.instance_ids }}"
state: 'absent'
