How to install packages by passing EC2 user data at startup using Ansible
I want to install nginx by passing it as user data to the ec2 instance during startup. I pass it like this
- name: WebServer | Create the WebServer Instance(s)
local_action:
module: ec2
region: "{{ vpc_region }}"
group: "{{ ec2_security_groups[1].sg_name }}"
keypair: "{{ key_name }}"
instance_type: "{{ web_instance_type }}"
****user_data: "sudo apt-get install nginx -y"****
image: "{{ imgae_id.ami }}"
vpc_subnet_id: "{{ public_subnet }}"
assign_public_ip: True
wait: True
wait_timeout: 600
But the above method didn't work for me, although it successfully instantiated EC2 but didn't install nginx.
Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks to

You are missing the shebang, try this:
- name: WebServer | Create the WebServer Instance(s)
local_action:
module: ec2
region: "{{ vpc_region }}"
group: "{{ ec2_security_groups[1].sg_name }}"
keypair: "{{ key_name }}"
instance_type: "{{ web_instance_type }}"
user_data: |
#!/bin/sh
sudo apt-get install nginx -y
image: "{{ imgae_id.ami }}"
vpc_subnet_id: "{{ public_subnet }}"
assign_public_ip: True
wait: True
wait_timeout: 600
