Below is my .yml file when i execute the playbook getting error on Tagsepcifications not able to figure out what it exactly referring to here in my yml code
- name: provisioning Ec2 instance
hosts: localhost
connection: local
tasks:
- name: launching
ec2_instance:
key_name: stackkeypair
image_id: ami-01216e7612243e0ef
instance_type: t2.micro
aws_region: ap-south-1
wait: yes
count: 1
aws_access_key: <Key given>
aws_secret_key: < Key given>

The above is the trace am not getting what exactly TagSepcification here
it is working when i give ec2: instead of ec2_instance and image instead of image_id but getting warning that ec2 is depcreated
my version of anisble
==Versions i have used ansible [core 2.13.4]
python version = 3.10.6 (main, Aug 10 2022, 11:40:04) [GCC 11.3.0] jinja version = 3.0.3 "boto3_version": "1.24.89", "botocore_version": "1.27.89" amazon.aws 3.4.0
It seems there are a couple of answers to this, and what appears to be a bug in either the amazon.aws collection, or botocore itself. We'll start with getting you unstuck: you can add a name: to that one instance and/or add an empty tags: {} dict to the task params
name: to that one instance: ec2_instance:
name: my-instance # <-- it doesn't matter what, just something
key_name: stackkeypair
image_id: ami-01216e7612243e0ef
instance_type: t2.micro
aws_region: ap-south-1
wait: yes
count: 1
by doing that, it special-cases tag creation by adding Key=Name,Value=my-instance and it doesn't fail validation anymore
tags: {} dict to the task params ec2_instance:
key_name: stackkeypair
image_id: ami-01216e7612243e0ef
instance_type: t2.micro
aws_region: ap-south-1
wait: yes
count: 1
tags: {}
this is probably the easiest, because it seems to side-step whatever bug exists in the amazon.aws collection
One will observe that all of their creation examples have tags: on them, so that's likely why this bug slipped through for so long
build_instance_tagsboto3_tag_specificationsNone, which makes botocore madthus, they should None-check that result before blindly assigning it to TagSpecifications
