     - { role: xanmanning.awscli, awscli_version: 1.16.309 }

Example playbook for installing the latest awscli version globally:

---
- hosts: awscli_hosts
  become: true
  vars:
    awscli_install_os_dependencies: true
    awscli_install_dir: /opt/awscli/bin
    awscli_bin_dir: /usr/bin
    awscli_venv_name: current

    - role: xanmanning.awscli

Activating the awscli venv

You need to activate the python3 virtual environment to be able to access aws. This is done as per the below:

source {{ awscli_install_dir }}/{{ awscli_venv_name }}/bin/activate

In the above example global installation playbook, this would look like the following:

source /opt/awscli/bin/current/bin/activate
