Requirements (on host that executes module)

• python >= 2.6
• boto

Examples

# Simple attachment action
- ec2_vol:
    instance: XXXXXX
    volume_size: 5
    device_name: sdd

# Example using custom iops params
- ec2_vol:
    instance: XXXXXX
    volume_size: 5
    iops: 100
    device_name: sdd

# Example using snapshot id
- ec2_vol:
    instance: XXXXXX
    snapshot: "{{ snapshot }}"

# Playbook example combined with instance launch
- ec2:
    keypair: "{{ keypair }}"
    image: "{{ image }}"
    wait: yes
    count: 3
  register: ec2
- ec2_vol:
    instance: "{{ item.id }} "
    volume_size: 5
  with_items: ec2.instances
  register: ec2_vol

# Example: Launch an instance and then add a volume if not already attached
#   * Volume will be created with the given name if not already created.
#   * Nothing will happen if the volume is already attached.
#   * Requires Ansible 2.0

- ec2:
    keypair: "{{ keypair }}"
    image: "{{ image }}"
    zone: YYYYYY
    id: my_instance
    wait: yes
    count: 1
  register: ec2

- ec2_vol:
    instance: "{{ item.id }}"
    name: my_existing_volume_Name_tag
    device_name: /dev/xvdf
  with_items: ec2.instances
  register: ec2_vol

# Remove a volume
- ec2_vol:
    id: vol-XXXXXXXX
    state: absent

# Detach a volume (since 1.9)
- ec2_vol:
    id: vol-XXXXXXXX
    instance: None

# List volumes for an instance
- ec2_vol:
    instance: i-XXXXXX
    state: list

# Create new volume using SSD storage
- ec2_vol:
    instance: XXXXXX
    volume_size: 50
    volume_type: gp2
    device_name: /dev/xvdf

# Attach an existing volume to instance. The volume will be deleted upon instance termination.
- ec2_vol:
    instance: XXXXXX
    id: XXXXXX
    device_name: /dev/sdf
    delete_on_termination: yes
