Ansible ec2_elb_lb HTTPS to HTTP error - amazon-web-services

Question

I have managed to successfully create an ELB using this playbook:
- name: Create VPC network
ec2_elb_lb:
aws_access_key: "{{ aws_access_key }}"
aws_secret_key: "{{ aws_secret_key }}"
name: "ElasticLoadBalancer"
region: us-east-1
state: present
subnets: "{{ Subnet.SubnetId }}"
listeners:
- protocol: http
load_balancer_port: 80
instance_port: 80
register: elb
- debug: msg="{{ elb }}"
But I also need to add HTTPS inbound and HTTP outbound, so I added an extra listener as per the ec2_elb_lb module example:
- name: Create VPC network
ec2_elb_lb:
aws_access_key: "{{ aws_access_key }}"
aws_secret_key: "{{ aws_secret_key }}"
name: "ElasticLoadBalancer"
region: us-east-1
state: present
subnets: "{{ Subnet.SubnetId }}"
listeners:
- protocol: http
load_balancer_port: 80
instance_port: 80
- protocol: https
load_balancer_port: 443
instance_protocol: http
instance_port: 80
register: elb
- debug: msg="{{ elb }}"
After running the above playbook I get the following message:
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}
Traceback (most recent call last):

If you want to provide HTTPS on the ELB then you need to provide an SSL certificate as well.
So your ec2_elb_lb task should instead look like:
- name: Create VPC network
ec2_elb_lb:
aws_access_key: "{{ aws_access_key }}"
aws_secret_key: "{{ aws_secret_key }}"
name: "ElasticLoadBalancer"
region: us-east-1
state: present
subnets: "{{ Subnet.SubnetId }}"
listeners:
- protocol: http
load_balancer_port: 80
instance_port: 80
- protocol: https
load_balancer_port: 443
instance_protocol: http
instance_port: 80
ssl_certificate_id: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:server-certificate/company/servercerts/ProdServerCert"
register: elb
- debug: msg="{{ elb }}"
