Let's jump right into examining the role we created called create-snapshot. The completed role and file named main.yml located in the create-snapshot/tasks directory looks similar to this:
---
- name: Retrieve tenantID
shell: keystone --os-username={{ OS_USERNAME }} --os-password={{ OS_PASSWORD }} --os-tenant-name={{ OS_TENANT_NAME }} --os-auth-url={{ OS_AUTH_URL }}
tenant-list | awk '/ {{ tenantname }} / { print $2 }'
register: tenantid
- name: Retrieve instance id from tenant
shell: nova --os-username={{ OS_USERNAME }} --os-password={{ OS_PASSWORD }} --os-tenant-name={{ OS_TENANT_NAME }} --os-auth-url={{ OS_AUTH_URL }}
list --all-tenants --tenant {{ tenantid.stdout }} --minimal | awk 'NR > 3 { print $2 }'
register: instid
- name: Create instance snapshot
command: nova --os-username={{ OS_USERNAME }} --os-password={{ OS_PASSWORD }} --os-tenant-name={{ OS_TENANT_NAME }} --os-auth-url={{ OS_AUTH_URL }}
image-create {{ item }} {{ tenantname }}-snap-{{ item }...
