Saving debug msg into variables list - amazon-web-services

Question

I want to create multiple aws accounts at once and to save different output list into variables.
I tried with debug msg but maybe is not the proper option.
The idea is the following:
-
name: Create accounts.
hosts: localhost
vars_prompt:
- name: "tag_start"
prompt: "Please set the starting number for the account"
private: no
- name: "tag_end"
prompt: "Please set the ending number for the account"
private: no
tasks:
- name: "Emails"
debug:
msg: "test+{{item}}#gmail.com"
with_sequence: start={{ tag_start }} end={{ tag_end }}
register: email
- name: "Account name"
debug:
msg: "account{{item}}"
with_sequence: start={{ tag_start }} end={{ tag_end }}
register: account_name
- name: "Emails list"
debug:
msg: "{{email}}"
- name: "Account names"
debug:
msg: "{{account_name}}"
- name: Create AWS account
shell: >
aws organizations create-account --email "{{ item[0] }}" \
--account-name "{{ item[1] }}" \
--role-name admin \
--iam-user-access-to-billing ALLOW \
--profile default
with_together:
- "{{ email }}"
- "{{ account_name }}"
The point is that first and second task seems to work as expected showing only what I need like:
TASK [Emails] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /Users/me/repos/create_aws_account.yaml:15
ok: [localhost] => (item=46) => {
"msg": "test+46#gmail.com"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=47) => {
"msg": "test+47#gmail.com"
}
TASK [Account name] **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /Users/me/create_aws_account.yaml:21
ok: [localhost] => (item=46) => {
"msg": "account46"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=47) => {
"msg": "account47"
}
But when I check the output with another debug msg of the variables saved I get the following:
TASK [Emails] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /Users/me/create_aws_account.yaml:27
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {
"changed": false,
"msg": "All items completed",
"results": [
{
"_ansible_ignore_errors": null,
"_ansible_item_label": "46",
"_ansible_item_result": true,
"_ansible_no_log": false,
"_ansible_verbose_always": true,
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"item": "46",
"msg": "test+46#gmail.com"
},
{
"_ansible_ignore_errors": null,
"_ansible_item_label": "47",
"_ansible_item_result": true,
"_ansible_no_log": false,
"_ansible_verbose_always": true,
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"item": "47",
"msg": "test+47#gmail.com"
}
]
}
}
TASK [Account names] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /Users/me/create_aws_account.yaml:31
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {
"changed": false,
"msg": "All items completed",
"results": [
{
"_ansible_ignore_errors": null,
"_ansible_item_label": "46",
"_ansible_item_result": true,
"_ansible_no_log": false,
"_ansible_verbose_always": true,
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"item": "46",
"msg": "account46"
},
{
"_ansible_ignore_errors": null,
"_ansible_item_label": "47",
"_ansible_item_result": true,
"_ansible_no_log": false,
"_ansible_verbose_always": true,
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"item": "47",
"msg": "account47"
}
]
}
}
So what can I do to save only the msg or stdout?
I tried also with set_fact but it seems to does not work either.

Answer 1

An option would be to create lists with set_fact
vars:
email: []
account_name: []
tasks:
- set_fact:
email: "{{ email }} + [ 'test{{ item }}#gmail.com' ]"
account_name: "{{ account_name }} + [ 'account{{ item }}' ]"
with_sequence: start="{{ tag_start }}" end="{{ tag_end }}"

Answer 2

Finally found what I was exactly looking for, and found it here, it is a reply from the user KaffeeKiffer. (The second reply).

At the end is the following:
- set_fact:
emails: "{{ email.results | map(attribute='msg') | list }}"
- set_fact:
account_names: "{{ account_name.results | map(attribute='msg') | list }}"
For completeness sake: | list is required, because map will always return an iterator.
