AWS SAM with Ansible

Question

Q: Can I use Ansible in order to build/deploy an AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model) template? If so can anyone post an example of how this Ansible Playbook (e.g. with build/deploy tasks) should look like?

Note:

I've searched the web and haven't found anyone giving such an example. AWS SAM is not even mentioned in Ansible documentation. except a GitHub issue (feature idea) that suggests supporting SAM with Ansible - but that was from 2017.

Thanks a lot
