what i have realized is that on ec2 retrieval, the output is a json object, whereas on ec2 creation, the output is json but in a string format.  is this understanding correct?  do i need to convert the output to json when ec2 instance is created to retrieve the values?

i have a script in which sometimes i need to create an ec2 instance and sometimes an existing ec2 instance is retrieved.  on both occasions, i do some further processing on the output like the following:

  - name: add hosts to group

    add_host:

        name: "{{ item.id }}"

        ansible_host: "{{ item.private_ip }}"

        group: windows

    with_items: "{{ ec2_result.instances }}"

the above works when i am retrieving an existing ec2 instance, but does not work when i am create a new one.  can someone clarify what i am doing wrong? or what the issue is?
