Starting EC2 Instance in 'us-west-2a' Region Gives Unexpected Error

[David Lloyd]

I have:

- hosts: localhost

  gather_facts: false

  connection: local

  vars:

    instance_ids:

      - 'i-62f8a46f'

    region: 'us-west-2a'

  tasks:

    - name: Start the instance(s).

      local_action:

        module: ec2

        instance_ids: '{{ instance_ids }}'

        region: '{{ region }}'

        state: running

        wait: True

This is fairly much a copy past of one of the examples.

However, Ansible's ec2 module complains like this:

% ansible-playbook ./playbook.pp

PLAY [localhost] ************************************************************** 

TASK: [Start the instance(s).] ************************************************ 

failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true}

msg: value of region must be one of: ap-northeast-1,ap-southeast-1,ap-southeast-2,eu-west-1,sa-east-1,us-east-1,us-west-1,us-west-2, got: us-west-2a

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

PLAY RECAP ******************************************************************** 

           to retry, use: --limit @/Users/lloy0076/playbook.pp.retry

localhost                  : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1   

Unfortunately this region does now exist; I added an 'ec2_url' rather than the 'region' but how would I go about finding out if someone's asked for the module to be updated to reflect this new region?

region: 'us-west-2a' 

aws  region  not  has  this  region ，  us-west-2a is  zone name  not region ， the region name is us-west-2

The ec2 modules only accept the top level region, not the sub-regions. Just specify us-west-2 instead.
