Ansible play book error ec2 setpu

[prasanna kumar]

Dear dick,

 I have to install aws ec2 instances through ansible-playbook,I am getting this error,kindly help me

ERROR! A playbook must be a list of plays, got a <class 'ansible.parsing.yaml.objects.AnsibleMapping'> instead

The error appears to be in '/etc/ansible/task.yml': line 2, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

---
  Name: webserver
  ^ here

this is  code, kindly help me

---
  Name: webserver
  hosts: centos
  connection: local
  tasks:
   - name: launching ec2
     ec2:
     instance_type: t2.micro
     key_name: cgs
     image: ami-04be797e37992bf1e
     region: us-west-1
     group: default
     count: 1
     vpc_subnet_id: subnet-094c33691ee761fe0
     wait: yes
     assign_public_ip: yes

Thanks & regards,

Did you use MS Word or something to edit the yaml file?

The name key should be lower case.

Your playbook syntax is not right  

Incorrect:

---
  Name: webserver
  hosts: centos
  connection: local
  tasks:

Correct way should be 

---
- name: webserver

  hosts: centos
  connection: local
  tasks:

Regards

Amit
