I'm trying to set some facts based on the user-data given for an EC2
instance:
- name: Initialization
hosts: localhost
connection: local
tasks:
- name: Get userdata
uri:
url: http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data
return_content: yes
register: metadata
- name: Set userdata fact
set_fact:
userdata: "{{ metadata.content | from_yaml }}"
- debug:
var: userdata
which returns:
TASK [debug]
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"changed": false,
"userdata": "nx-app=web nx-name=my.hostname.net nx-state=standby
nx-system=prod nx-version=01"
}
This show that userdata is a string.
But I'm having trouble pulling the userdata.<value> out:
- name: Set facts needed from userdata
set_fact:
system: "{{ userdata.nx-system }}"
version: "{{ userdata.nx-version }}"
app: "{{ userdata.nx-app }}"
state: "{{ userdata.nx-state }}"
name: "{{ userdata.nx-name }}"
Since userdata is a string it's not possible to use array syntax.
What am I missing? I've tried several things but haven't hit on the
solution so I'm open to any suggestions.
What is the output of
- debug: var=metadata.content
