I'm writing my first Ansible playbook to get some instance details from AWS, but I'm unable to get the playbook correct. I'm getting this error: ERROR! playbooks must be a list of plays.



Below is my playbook.



#get vailable instance details
-name: "Create and attach ebs volumes"

tasks:
ec2_instance_facts:
region: us-west-2
filter :
"tag:role": PrimaryApplicationInstance

          The playbook in ansible follow some syntax and format.



          Use below:



          ---
          - name: <name of the playbook>
          hosts: <hosts_group>
          tasks:
          - name: <name of the task for reference>
          ec2_instance_facts:
          <module arguments>


          ansible follows indentation of 2 spaces in yaml format.



          Since you are new you can check the syntax of the playbook using below command.



          ansible-playbook --syntax-check <playbook_file_name>.yml -i inventory

          -i --> inventory file where hosts and vars can be defined in the format
          <var_name> = <var_value>
