The first role we are going to create is the one which creates the VPC itself. Everything we are going to configure/create in the upcoming roles needs to be hosted within a VPC, so it needs to be created and then we need to gather some information on it so we can proceed with the rest of the playbook.
To bootstrap the role, run the following command from within your working folder:
$ ansible-galaxy init roles/vpc
Now that we have the files for the role, open roles/vpc/tasks/main.yml and enter the following:
- name: ensure that the VPC is present ec2_vpc_net: region: "{{ ec2_region }}" name: "{{ environment_name }}" state: present cidr_block: "{{ vpc_cidr_block }}" resource_tags: { "Name" : "{{ environment_name }}", "Environment" ...
