# Gather facts about all VPC subnets
- ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:

# Gather facts about a particular VPC subnet using ID
- ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:
    filters:
      subnet-id: subnet-00112233

# Gather facts about any VPC subnet with a tag key Name and value Example
- ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:
    filters:
      "tag:Name": Example

# Gather facts about any VPC subnet within VPC with ID vpc-abcdef00
- ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:
    filters:
      vpc-id: vpc-abcdef00

# Gather facts about a set of VPC subnets, publicA, publicB and publicC within a
# VPC with ID vpc-abcdef00 and then use the jinja map function to return the
# subnet_ids as a list.

- ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:
    filters:
      vpc-id: vpc-abcdef00
      "tag:Name": "{{ item }}"
  with_items:
    - publicA
    - publicB
    - publicC
  register: subnet_facts

- set_fact:
    subnet_ids: "{{ subnet_facts.results|map(attribute='subnets.0.id')|list }}"

Notes

Note

  • If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
  • AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
