Edit playbook to work with Packer Ansible Provisioner

[gigi...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I’m trying to call a playbook from Packer for the first time. I’m using the Packer Ansible provisioner. The documentation says that Packer will “dynamically create an inventory file to use with the playbook” If this is the case, How should I edit my playbook? As it is now it has a “hosts” entry - should I just remove that? It looks like:

- hosts: ec2lin

  remote_user: ec2-user

  become: yes

  become_user: root

  tasks:

  - name: run yum update -y using yum module

    yum:

      name: "*"

      state: latest

Thank You much for any help

Use hosts: all

Packer only makes the one host available in the inventory.
