Ah yes, apologies for that. So I've corrected that, but getting an
undefined variable error.
fatal: [server.mydomain.com]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an
option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no
attribute 'results'\n\nThe error appears to have been in
'/opt/ansible-scripts/update/create-ami.new.yml': line 14, column 7, but
may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe
offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: set ami id\n ^ here\n"}
