Question
Cannot execute Ansible playbook to provision DigitalOcean droplets
I am trying to execute this playbook that provisions two droplets from a CentOS 7 VM on VMWare Fusion running Ansible 2.9.9. Already have exported my API token as environment variables TOKEN and DOAPITOKEN with the correct PAT. Also registered the SSH keys of the CentOS7 VM and the host MacBook on my DigitalOcean account.

- name: create one droplet..
digital_ocean_droplet:
unique_name: yes
region: 'nyc1'
image: 'ubuntu-18-10-x64'

name: 'plswork-do-test1' #"{{ item }}"
size: 's-1vcpu-1gb'
state: present
register: created_droplets
with_items:
- "tmp-droplet-1"
- "tmp-droplet-2"
- name: add to dynamic inventory
add_host:
name: '{{ created_droplets.ip_address }}'
group: pap6-test
with_items: '{{ created_droplets.results }}'
- debug:
msg: 'ID is {{ created_droplets.data.droplat.id }}, IP is {{ created_droplets.data.ip_address }}'
When I execute this playbook, it fails with following error.
PLAY [localhost] ****************************************************************************************
TASK [create one droplet..] *****************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "You specified an invalid image for Droplet creation."}
PLAY RECAP **********************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
Since it mentions an invalid image, I checked the slugs of the image,region and size, all of which were correct. I am able to curl to api.digitalocean.com to provision droplets. What should I do in order to resolve this problem? Is this a common issue? How do you provision DigitalOcean Droplets using Ansible?
