Read the documentation for ec2_ami:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/ec2_ami_module.html#return-values
... or the doco for the particular version of Ansible that you are using.
The section "Return values" describes the structure inside your registered
variable "ami".
It looks to me as if to retrieve the AMI ID, you need to use "{{
ami.image_id }}".
'dict object' has no attribute 'result' means "there is no thing called
'result' inside the variable you are looking at".
That means you either have the wrong variable (and 'result' is to be found
in a different variable) or you have the correct variable, but there is
nothing called "result" inside it.
