The Ansible Community AWS collection includes a variety of Ansible content to help automate the management of AWS instances. This collection is maintained by the Ansible community.
This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: >=2.9.10.
Plugins and modules within a collection may be tested with only specific Ansible versions. A collection may contain metadata that identifies these versions. PEP440 is the schema used to describe the versions of Ansible.
This collection depends on the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3 and Botocore). As AWS has ceased supporting Python 2.6, this collection requires Python 2.7 or greater.

You can install the AWS collection with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:
ansible-galaxy collection install community.aws
You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it with ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml, using the format:
---
collections:
- name: community.aws
A specific version of the collection can be installed by using the version keyword in the requirements.yml file:
---
collections:
- name: community.aws
version: 0.1.1You can either call modules by their Fully Qualified Collection Namespace (FQCN), such as community.aws.ec2_instance, or you can call modules by their short name if you list the community.aws collection in the playbook's collections keyword:
---
- name: Create a DB instance using the default AWS KMS encryption key
community.aws.rds_instance:
id: test-encrypted-db
state: present
engine: mariadb
storage_encrypted: True
db_instance_class: db.t2.medium
username: "{{ username }}"
password: "{{ password }}"
allocated_storage: "{{ allocated_storage }}"
