Dynamic Inventory AWS EC2 + group_vars

[sirkubax]

Hi

ansible 1.9.1

I'd like to load some variables for newly created instances from my static inventory.

I do create some EC2 instances with a playbook (as in basic example):

- hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  gather_facts: False

  tasks:

    - name: Provision a set of instances

      ec2:

          region: eu-central-1

          key_name: kuba_aws

          group: default

          instance_type: t2.micro

          image: ami-accff2b1

          vpc_subnet_id: subnet-xxxxxx

          wait: yes

          exact_count: 3

          count_tag:

             Name: Demo

          instance_tags:

             Name: Demo

             test_tag: Demo

      register: ec2

I do have static group_vars defined:

cat group_vars/tag_Name_Demo

---

ansible_ssh_private_key_file: ~/.ssh/mykey

ansible_ssh_user: ubuntu

But when I lunch:

ansible -m ping tag_Name_Demo -vvv

<172.16.1.12> ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: xxxxx

So the files are not read. I thought that the inventories are not combined, so I did create directory combining static and dynamic inventory, but no luck

ls ~/inv/

ec2.py  inventory-qa.ini

ansible -m ping tag_Name_Demo -vvv -i ~/inv/

<172.16.1.12> ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: xxxxx

I was sure, that ansible would match group_vars from static inventory and assign proper variables for groups in dynamic_inventory ...

Any suggestions - probably there is some step missing?
