hosts: launched

[William Donnelly]

Hello, 

Has anyone found the correct syntax for launching a temporary ec2 instance with Ansible, doing some config on it, then using the newly created ip address of the ec2 instance in the

the host inventory. 

This part is all good:

---

- name: Base-API-AMI | Create a Base-AMI for the API ECS Cluster

  hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  gather_facts: False

  tasks:

    - name: check that env was passed in extra-vars

      assert:

        that: 'env is defined'

    - include_vars: "{{ inventory_dir }}/vars/{{ env }}.yml"

    - name: create Temporary Instance based on CentOS 7

      ec2:

        key_name: "{{ key_name }}"

        instance_type: t2.micro

        image: ami-d2c924b2

        instance_tags:

          name: dockerhost

        wait: true

        region: us-west-2

        assign_public_ip: no

      register: ec2

    - debug: var=ec2

-------------- This part fails --------------------------------

 - name: Add new instance to host group

      add_host: hostname={{ item.public_ip }}

      with_items: ec2.instances

----------- this pattern also fails

    - name: change hosts inventory

      hosts: launched

      sudo: True

      gather_facts: True

Thanks,

Bill
