To create an Amazon EC2 key pair using Ansible, you can use the ec2_key module. This module allows you to create, delete, and manage EC2 key pairs.
Here is an example of how to use the ec2_key module to create a new key pair:
---
- name: Create EC2 key pair
hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Create key pair
ec2_key:
name: mykey
region: us-east-1
profile: myprofile
In this example, the ec2_key module will create a new key pair called mykey in the us-east-1 region, using the AWS profile myprofile.
You can also use the ec2_key module to delete an existing key pair, or to check if a key pair exists. For example:
---
- name: Delete EC2 key pair
hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Delete key pair
ec2_key:
name: mykey
state: absent
region: us-east-1
profile: myprofile
This playbook will delete the key pair mykey from the us-east-1 region, using the AWS profile myprofile.
