Timeouts using AWS modules

[Karl Auer]

I am getting a LOT of read timeouts working with AWS modules. The commonest is with ec2_group, but I've seen it with elb_application_lb and a couple of others as well. Sometimes running the playbook again gets past it, sometimes not. With biggish playbooks it is getting to be  real problem.

Is this something I can do anything about?

Regards, K.

Sample (sorry about the formatting):

TASK [sg : Create a security group ADFS-wap-sg protecting WAP instances] *********************************

This generally indicates connectivity problems. Are you behind a proxy of some sort (might be transparent). I have seen those sort of issues in various corporate environments that used proxies to inspect all traffic.

kind regards

Nope, it's not a connectivity, or not that sort of connectivity issue. It's been getting worse with each version of Ansible, though that is correlation, not necessarily causation :-)

Everything I do is on localhost, running ansible AWS modules, which talk to AWS rather than to actual hosts. I find it a bit suspicious that the lion's share of the issues are with security groups, but I'm not sure what I'm suspicious of :-)
