Getting a handle of ec2-instances

[Yasser Hussain]

I have provisioned an amazon instance using ec2 module. Now I need to do some more manipulation on the instance. So does ansible get a handle on the instance it just created?

You should be able to register a var which will get return info from
the module, I believe this includes new instance ids.
